Thieves have stolen an electricity transformer at Asafo, a community in Sefwi Wiawso municipality of the Western North Region, leading to a cut in power supply to the area and its environs.
According to a report by UTV Ghana, the thieves, after removing the transformer at night, had time to sit down at the scene, disassemble it before making away with the copper cables and other valuable parts.
The assemblyman for the area expressed fury at the development, lamenting how it has plunged the entire community and others who depend on the stolen transformer for electricity into darkness.
He indicated that efforts were underway to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to book.
