Winneba, (C/R) March 1, GNA - The Winneba District Magistrate's Court has fined two electricians and a scrap dealer from Winneba GH¢120 each for stealing some high tension cable of the Electricity Company of Ghana, at Winneba.
Emmanuel Ayie, Joseph Nkeako both electricians, and Kadri Abedrel, the scrap dealer, pleaded guilty.
They would go to prison for 18 months each if they fail to pay the fines.
Narrating the facts of the case to the court, presided over by Mr Ben B. Attabra, the prosecutor, Chief Inspector Moses Naa-Kolgo Agbegne, said Ayie and Nteako worked for Willay Dan Electrical Company, Winneba.
He said the Company had been contracted by the ECG to replace some old high tension cables in Winneba and its surroundings.
The prosecution said on February 14, Ayie and Nteako stole some cable valued at about GHC1000 and sold them to Abedrel, a scrap dealer at Winneba at the cost of GHC150.
Chief Inspector Agbegne said the next morning, Abedrel, in his attempt to transport the cable to Accra, was arrested by a staff of the ECG at Winneba Junction and sent to the Police Station.
When he was interrogated he mentioned Ayie and Nteako as those who gave the cable to him and they were subsequently arrested and arraigned at the court.
The court ordered that the cables be given back to the ECG.
