A minor misunderstanding that occurred between an official from the Electricity of Ghana (ECG) and some residents in the Northern Region turned violent after the men attacked him for disconnecting their light.
The ECG official identified as identified Yakubu Garkuwan Kumo reportedly went to the home of a retired soldier to disconnect his power for nonpayment of bills but his sons numbering about four pounced on him and beat him up.
According to a friend of the KEDC staff, Yakubu had gone to the area in Kaduna Metropolis for bill collection on Monday, August 16, 2021.
On getting to the home of a retired soldier, he asked that the family pays its bill but they declined.
Yakubu then started climbing his ladder to disconnect them from the power source, but the soldier’s sons pulled him down from the leader and beat him.
As you can see in the video, they assaulted him without mercy with the low point being the moment one of his assistants hit him severally with a stick.
