The Electricity Company of Ghana has rejected reports that two of its technicians have been electrocuted while on an assignment.
A video circulating on social media suggested that the incident happened in Ghana while they were working on an electricity distribution network.
But the ECG in a statement, denied such reports, stating categorically that “no such accident has occurred on its network anywhere in its operational area.”
It therefore advised the general public to ignore the said video.
The statement from the ECG is below
