The task force found the illegal connection, which involved the direct connection of power without a meter, during a routine check to collect debts due by customers.
Laila Abubakari, the manager in charge of external communications at ECG, said that the disconnection is a part of a nationwide operation to gather money that customers due ECG and to check the condition of all meters.
We have the right to disconnect first before we address problems because this link is illegal, she said.
Before electricity is restored, the police must pay their bill for the previous 12 months.
The Ghana police would need to visit ECG, where a 12-month bill would be produced for them, she continued.
“The administration block also owes, but we have spared that facility while we further discuss the sum involved due to security concerns. The disconnect is because we view the police housing accommodations (blocks) as a general facility.
The disconnect exercise is a component of a month-long nationwide campaign to recover the GH5.7 billion that is owed to them.
