D-Black
Two entertainment centres, Oasis Pool and Shisha Lounge in Accra belonging to Desmond Kwesi Blackmore, known by his stage name D-Black, an anglophone hip-hop and Afrobeat musician and entrepreneur has been cut off from the national grid for electric power theft.
The night club which depends heavily on power to sustain its operations with the use of sound systems, refrigerators, lighting, among other electrical appliances is located at Cantonments behind the Police Headquarters in Accra.
The National Taskforce of the Electricity Company of Ghana purportedly caught them in the act for allegedly bypassing the electric meter to use electricity free, according to report by an Accra based Citi Fm.
Information revealed that the Taskforce stormed the premises, where it uncovered the illegality, which is alleged to have taken place for a long time.
The ECG has since served notice to the managers of the facility to report at their office for further interrogation after cutting off power supply.
A number of public and private institutions have been caught over the past five weeks ever since the power distributing company declared war on debtors and illegal connections.
