Residents of Adjumador near Liberty House in the Afienya-Prampram District are currently in darkness after suspected thieves stole their transformer.
The ECG transformer is the only source of power supply to the entire community thus, its absence has caused a major blackout.

“I would like to bring to the attention of the Management of ECG- Afienya–Prampram District that some individuals suspected to armed robbers have this dawn 25/11/2021 carried out an operation in the said Community by removing the main ECG transformer that serves the entire community, which resulted in a blackout in the whole enclave.”
