Staff of the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) in Tamale have resumed work, following the intervention of the Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Abukari II, and other authorities.
The workers withdrew their services last week after some irate Tamale residents attacked and vandalised their offices.
This was after police officers accompanied the workers to Lamashegu, Bavum, Nakpanzoo, and other areas in the metropolis for the arrest of some ‘illegal connection’ customers.
The officers allegedly ended up assaulting the residents.
The police administration found the action unprofessional and interdicted some four police officers who engaged in the act coupled with apologies and payment of the hospital bills of the affected persons.
