The Odumase-Krobo Circuit Court has issued a bench warrant \u00a0for the arrest of a man who assaulted two workers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) for disconnecting electricity supply to his house.<\/p>\n Inspector Yeboah said on August 29, 2016 at about 11:21 a.m, a team of ECG officers, including the two complainants, embarked on a disconnection exercise at Kpong.<\/p>\n He said when the team got to the accused person\u2019s house, they disconnected him for failing to pay his bills.<\/p>\n ASP Yeboah said just as the complainants were about to leave \u00a0Wormenor\u2019s premises , he suddenly appeared and \u00a0stopped \u00a0the ECG officers \u00a0from leaving \u00a0the house unless they reconnected the power for him. The accused then held the collar of their shirts at their necks, slapped them and started pulling them back to his house. He said the other ECG workers who were in the area heard of the incident and quickly rushed to the scene to rescue their colleagues. \u00a0He said in the process, the accused tore the uniforms of the complainants.<\/p>\n The complainants subsequently reported the case to the police and \u00a0Wormenor \u00a0was arrested and in his cautioned statements he admitted to the offence.
