A tragic incident has occurred at Fetteh Kakraba in the Gomoa East area of the Central Region, where a 32-year-old woman was electrocuted.
The incident happened on Friday, shortly after staff from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) disconnected her power supply.
According to local residents, ECG personnel had disconnected the woman’s electricity but left the cable linking the pole to her meter unsecured and hanging.
The woman, identified as Appiawaa, returned home and attempted to adjust the loose cable to prevent potential hazards, but she was electrocuted in the process.
Eyewitness Sister Esi reported that Appiawaa passed away shortly after being rushed to St. Gregory Hospital.
In response, residents have expressed their anger and threatened to confront any ECG staff who come to inspect or disconnect meters in the area again.
