Power has been restored to Yilo and Manya Krobo by the Electricity Company of Ghana(ECG) after the July 27 power cut to the two municipalities.

The lights went off again in less than a minute due to some faults detected while ECG officials were working to connect back the enclave to the national grid.

But locals say it was restored finally around 9:00 pm.

Communities in the Lower Manya and Yilo Krobo Municipalities have been off the national grid following an alleged exchange of gunshots between the military and some residents at Nuaso.

There have been tensions between the residents and the ECG in recent times over the installation of prepaid metres.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the gunshots were targeted at workers of ECG who were in the community to disconnect power from the main transformer which was serving a number of illegally connected homes in the area.
