Credible information available to energynewsafrica.com indicates that there was another attempt to hack down Ghana Grid Company’s transmission tower near its head office in Tema earlier this week.
Sources at GRIDCo told this portal that the perpetrators would have succeeded if security personnel providing surveillance of the area had not been vigilant.
According to the sources, the perpetrators, upon realising that they had been spotted by the security personnel around, took to their heels, leaving their equipment behind.
Some of the equipment retrieved included a hacksaw blade and one AK 47 rifle.
It would be recalled that some unidentified persons on Monday, 24th March, 2019, hacked down one of the pylons near GRIDCo’s head office in Tema.
The pylon was part of those which transmitted power from Karpower and Aksa to the national grid.
It is not clear what is the motive of those perpetrating these acts.
The incident is currently under investigation.
