Since more of the missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers were found at the Atlas Dry Port, the mystery surrounding them has grown more complex. The National Security Council's Director of Investigations, Chief Superintendent Osman Alhassan, has made the startling admission that a number of these containers exhibit obvious tampering, which raises grave suspicions of a potential large-scale theft operation.

The public and industry stakeholders are calling for immediate answers in response to this most recent revelation, which has escalated calls for responsibility.

When several units disappeared from Tema Port under questionable circumstances, the disappearance of ECG containers—which hold vital electrical equipment intended for national power distribution—came to light. After conducting investigations, authorities discovered more missing containers at the Atlas Dry Port.

But the condition of these containers—many of which seem to have been forced open and altered, indicating an attempt to hide evidence or steal valuable contents—has worried investigators the most.

Osman Alhassan, Chief Supervisor, Speaks Out

Chief Supt. Osman Alhassan claims that the recently discovered containers show obvious influence, indicating illegal access.

"After examining a number of the seized containers, our staff has verified that seals have been broken and that some of them clearly demonstrate attempts to conceal tampering. To ascertain the extent of the theft or damage, we are collaborating closely with ECG officials," he said.

Since it would be extremely hard to move and remove such huge supplies without insider involvement, the security expert also alluded to the possibility of inside complicity.

How the Containers Should Appear Compared to Indications of Tampering

Containers holding sensitive equipment must be sealed, marked, and tracked until they arrive at their destination, according to ECG's standard protocol. These safeguards guarantee that:

The seals are still in place; missing or damaged seals indicate illegal entrance.

Although container doors are unbroken, welds, scratches, or markings from forced entrance could be signs of manipulation.

The movement of the container matches the tracking records; if the records have been changed, it may indicate a cover-up.

Suspicions of foul play are further strengthened by the authorities' belief that several of these common security measures were breached.

Public indignation has been sparked by the discovery of additional missing ECG containers, as Ghanaians wonder how so many vital national resources could go.

Experts in the energy sector caution that important electrical equipment theft or damage might affect power supply infrastructure and cause delays in national initiatives.

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), ECG, and the National Security Council have increased their investigations. A number of people are being questioned, including logistics operators and port officials, and additional arrests may come.

Now that there is more proof of tampering, officials are under pressure to solve the entire ECG container mystery and bring those involved to justice.
