Operatives of the National Security Secretariat in an intelligence-led operation, has managed to retrieve 40 out of the 1,328 containers which mysteriously disappeared from the Tema Port.
According to the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, the containers were traced to a warehouse owned by an Indian national at Kpone near Tema.
The Minister stated that the said Indian national has been arrested and will assist investigators to tracing the remaining 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 stated.
John Jinapor claimed that the Indian national told National Security Operatives that the containers were sold to him in 2024 and they have other locations.
“This is now a subject of investigation, and the law enforcement agencies will make sure the law takes its course.”
“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.
Some 1,328 containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) which were awaiting clearance at the Tema Port went missing.
This bombshell was revealed in an investigative report on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
Chairman of the investigatiportve committee, Prof. Innocent Senyo Acquah disclosed the ECG initially claimed to have 2,491 uncleared containers at the port.
These containers are said to be filled with cables and other essential equipment for the work of ECG.
However, a recent independent audit at the port revealed that out of 2,491 containers, only 1,134 containers remain as at now. This means 1,347 containers have currently gone missing.
