A Circuit Court in Accra has ordered two suspects to be held in police custody. They face charges of assaulting staff from the Electricity Company of Ghana.
The alleged assault took place during an exercise to disconnect power. The ECG was disconnecting customers who had not paid their bills.
The court has scheduled the next hearing for next week. The suspects will remain in police custody until then.
Assaulting public officials carrying out their duties is a serious offense. The court process will determine the outcome of this case.
