Police nab impersonator targeting ECG customers

The Assin Fosu District Police arrested Isaac Akwasi Agyei, a 38-year-old man, for impersonating an Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) staff member and defrauding customers in the Assin South District.

Agyei posed as a disconnection officer, demanding Gh¢50 from customers with debts over Gh¢200, threatening to disconnect their electricity if they didn't pay.

He even removed service wires from meters.

His scam was exposed when suspicious victims reported him to a local assembly member.

ECG's Central Region General Manager, Emmanuel Lumor, urged customers to be cautious of such fraudsters.
