Part of Tema metropolis will on the night of Wednesday, October 26, 2022 from 7pm to 12am experience total blackout.
The blackout is to allow the Tema Traditional Council perform some rituals as part of the final funeral rites of the late overlord of Tema, Nii Adjei Kraku II.
He died in February 2020.
“Residents are advised to stay indoors during the period, classified as a scared night,” Nii Tetteh Tsuru Orkoor III, Tema Ashaman Akwashongtse (Custodian) reportedly said when the Tema Traditional Council performed some ancestral customs as part of the activities for the final funeral rites of the late chief.
There were reports that Tema, Ashaiman and other surrounding towns will experience total blackout on Wednesday night from 7pm to 12am.
However, when energynewsafrica.com contacted the Tema Regional Manager for ECG, Ing. Emmanuel Akinie explained that his outfit received a request from the Tema Traditional Council asking for power outage in areas under the Tema Traditional Council.
He said his outfit is still in discussion with the Traditional Council over their request.
He told this portal his outfit will try and reduce the impact of the outage adding that the outage will be restricted to Tema Newtown and areas along the coast of Tema.
According to him, Ashaiman will not be part.
