Energy Minister John Jinapor has announced that additional steps are being taken to uncover the whereabouts of the more than 1,300 missing containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), which vanished from the Tema Port.

In a statement made during an interview on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, Jinapor revealed that his office has formally written to the Attorney General, urging for further investigations into the disappearance and the potential for legal action against those responsible.

“We’ve written to the Attorney General to conduct further investigations with the possibility of taking the culprits to court,” Jinapor stated, emphasizing the need for accountability in this matter.

To aid in the search for the missing containers, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) has been tasked with conducting a forensic investigation. Their role will be crucial in tracing the missing containers and identifying those responsible for the disappearance.

Jinapor also revealed that he has personally reached out to the National Security Secretariat, requesting their assistance in securing the remaining containers. This is to ensure that those that can still be accounted for are safely stored and put to good use while the search for the missing ones continues.

“Some containers are still scattered. We need to secure them so that we can put them to good use while we pursue those that cannot be accounted for,” he added.

While the investigation is still underway, some of the missing containers have been located, and several individuals, including both Ghanaians and Chinese nationals, have been arrested in connection with the incident. The search and investigation remain ongoing, with authorities working to ensure that the culprits are brought to justice and the remaining containers are accounted for.

Jinapor's statements reflect a concerted effort by the government to address the situation and ensure that any wrongdoing is swiftly dealt with through legal means.
