Residents of Alhaji, a suburb of Accra located at New Achimota near Best Start Preparatory School have sent out an SOS to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
They say their lives are in danger due to the threat posed by one of the ECG high tension poles in the Community.
The high tension pole is presently standing in a stream that runs through a portion of the land where the pole is sited.
Due to the heavy rains in the past few months, serious erosion has taken place washing away the sand supporting the pole.
A report was made to the ECG Office at St John’s, but no action has been taken yet.
The residents fear that should the high tension pole fall anytime, there could be fatality as the pole is sited close to homes.
The residents are therefore appealing to the Electricity Company to immediately find a solution to the problem before the unexpected happens.
