The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Mr. John Abdulai Jinapor, has disclosed that 40 out of the 1,357 missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers have been traced to a warehouse at Kpone, near Tema.
According to the Minister, the warehouse housing the stolen containers is owned by an Indian national.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, Mr. Jinapor commended the efforts of national security operatives and other law enforcement agencies in tracking down the missing containers.
“The important issue is the whereabouts of these containers. The briefing I received this morning indicates that about 40 of them have already been traced to a warehouse in Kpone, which belongs to an Indian national.
All 40 containers have been confiscated and moved to a secure location,” Mr Jinapor told the media.
He further stated that the warehouse owner claimed the containers were sold to him last year. However, he stressed that the matter is under investigation, and law enforcement agencies will ensure justice is served.
“This is now a subject of investigation, and the law enforcement agencies will make sure the law takes its course,” he added.
The Minister also noted that intelligence reports suggest more missing containers are located elsewhere. He assured the public that security agencies are actively pursuing leads to recover all missing containers and bring those responsible to justice.
“They have identified other locations and are following up to recover all the containers and ensure the perpetrators are prosecuted before competent courts,” he affirmed.
