The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has rescued a man who suffered an electrocution incident at Tetegu in the Weija-Gbawe Municipality during the ongoing Weija Dam spillage, which has affected hundreds of residents.

Confirming the incident, the Assemblyman for the Tetegu Electoral Area, Hon. Bright Kwame, disclosed that the victim was electrocuted in his house after floodwaters entered the area.
