A disconnection exercise conducted by the Northern Electricity Distribution Company of Ghana (NEDCo) on Monday, October 9, has led to a confrontational situation with the local youth.

The youth expressed their grievance, contending that they had not received sufficient prior notice regarding the impending disconnection.

They politely requested the supervisor to grant them a two-day grace period to settle their outstanding electricity bills.

To their disappointment, the NEDCo officials declined their request and instructed their team to proceed with the disconnection process as planned.

This decision ignited the frustration of the youth, prompting them to engage in a confrontation with the NEDCo team. Eventually, the escalating tension compelled the NEDCo officials to leave the community.

In response to the unfolding events, the NEDCo team, seemingly frustrated by the confrontation, returned to Chereponi and carried out a complete disconnection of electricity services in the entire Wanchiki area.

Regrettably, this action adversely affected even those residents who had diligently paid their electricity bills on time.'Regrettably, this action adversely affected even those residents who had diligently paid their electricity bills on time.
