The Central Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with the transportation of electricity cables believed to belong to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

According to the police in a post on X (formerly Twitter), the suspects, Mohammed Sulemana and Iddrisu Basit, are both drivers’ mates of an articulated truck.

The police said the suspects were apprehended on April 1, 2025, at Gomoa Awombrew in the Central Region.

The truck, registered GC 7410-11, was found loaded with 28 rims of ECG cables and parked at Gomoa Awombrew.

Upon inspection, ECG officials, led by their Operations Officer, Mr David Ackom, confirmed ownership of the cables but noted that no such consignment was expected in the area.

Meanwhile, the truck driver, Zibo Imoro, is currently on the run, and police have launched a manhunt to apprehend him.

The truck remains under police guard as investigations continue.
