According to Citi Newsroom, a man believed to be in his 30s died after being electrocuted inside a Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) substation in Tamale. The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday, October 24, is suspected to be an attempted theft of metal components. NEDCo Northern Area Engineer, David Quarshie Doe, stated that the company was alerted after a power line supplying the town went off. Police reportedly heard a loud noise from the substation control room prior to the power interruption. Upon arrival, NEDCo personnel discovered the man inside the control room with signs of electrocution. An inspection of the facility revealed that equipment components had been detached and placed in a bag. The incident caused power disruptions in parts of the Tamale Business District. Police have since conveyed the body to the Tamale Teaching Hospital morgue.
