Nana Ofori Daban the second, chief of Assin Anyinabrim, is helping the Assin Fosu police in their investigations into an alleged illegal electricity connection, assault and threatening.

Mr L. M. Morladza, Central Regional Administrative Manager of the Electricity Company of Ghana, told the GNA that the chief had made an illegal underground connection to his new storeyed building.

When the personnel of the company at Assin Fosu went to disconnect the cables, the chief allegedly assaulted Mr Steven Owusu and Mr Kwame Osei, both ECG employees and threatened them with a loaded gun.

When contacted by the GNA, Nana Ofori Daban said his actions were to protect his property because " I thought the two men are thieves stealing the cables."
