The current load shedding exercise has created good cover for cable thieves in the Nkwanta District of the Volta Region, who have resorted to stealing electricity cables in the township.
The Nkwanta District Veterinary Office, Ghana Institute of Linguistics, Literacy and Bible Translation (GILLBT), a sawmill and some individuals have so far fallen victim to the activities of the thieves.
A source at the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) at Nkwanta said the stolen cables might be destined for Kpassa, where an electrification project was underway.
The source said the thieves might also be selling the wires to goldsmiths who use the copper component for jewellery.
