Telephone Cable Thief Sentenced To 7 Years In Prison

The Odumase-Krobo Circuit Court has sentenced a man identified as William Ntow to seven-year imprisonment after he was caught stealing Vodafone telecommunication cables in the area.

The Akosombo District Police arrested Ntow near Sakora Park in Odumase Krobo after Vodafone Ghana lodged a complaint regarding frequent cable cuts, which had been causing disruptions to the company’s services for the past few weeks.

Police officers arrested Ntow with a cable measuring 1,400 meters and valued at GH₵552,500.00.

In a statement issued by Vodafone Ghana, the firm said the conviction of Ntow comes as a relief to the company, which had been working to curb the issue of cable theft and its impact on services.

Speaking about the arrest and subsequent conviction, the Corporate Security Manager at Vodafone Ghana, John Animah, expressed gratitude to the Akosombo District Police for its swift action in apprehending the suspect.

“Cable theft has been a persistent issue for our company, and this arrest sends a strong message to would-be thieves that such criminal activities will not be tolerated,” he said.

The release said Vodafone Ghana has been working closely with law enforcement agencies to tackle the problem of cable theft and mitigate its impact on the company’s services and customers.

The firm said the arrest and conviction of William Ntow are significant steps in addressing the issue and deterring potential criminals.

Also, the Legal and External Affairs Director at Vodafone Ghana, Preba Greenstreet, said, “the conviction of William Ntow serves as a warning to others who may consider engaging in cable theft. It’s important to understand that this isn’t a victimless crime. It disrupts vital communication services and affects businesses and individuals alike.”

She said Vodafone would continue collaborating with law enforcement and other relevant stakeholders to combat the problem and protect its infrastructure.
