National Security Nabs 12 Chinese Nationals, Ghanaian Over Missing ECG Containers

Accra, Ghana - 27 March, 2025 - A joint operation by Ghana's National Security operatives has resulted in the arrest of 12 Chinese nationals and a Ghanaian citizen in connection with the disappearance of electrical cables from the Tema Port.

The suspects, linked to aluminum smelting companies in Shai Hills, were apprehended on Thursday following an intelligence-led investigation.

The probe uncovered a trail of stolen cables, believed to be part of the missing consignment, which were being melted into aluminum bars for export at an aluminum smelter owned by the Chinese in Shai Hills. 

Authorities are now searching for an additional Chinese national who is currently at large.
