Dear Chris-Vincent,

I would like to first congratulate you for the recent publication which brought to light that Red Row Estates where Yvonne Nelson lives in Accra have had its electricity disconnected for operating illegal connections.

I have read the statement issued by the CEO of Red Row Estate-Christopher Aryeetey and I am sad that he is walking around as a free man when your journalist who went on duty in search for further information was rather arrested.

You are one hell of a frank young man and I admire not just your work (blog) but your conscience and personality.

Let me now tackle the issues; in the statement signed by the CEO of Red Row Estate-Christopher Aryeetey which I do not believe is the whole truth considering his involvement in the matter (illegal connections) and also because access to further information by your blog led to a police arrest, the CEO states that 12 of his houses were operating illegal connections. This is criminal.

He goes on to try to redeem himself by saying they sub-contracted the electrification project to another company who rather put in place the illegal connections. So what? First of all, what is the name of this sub-contracting company? Secondly, if you sub-contract a job to someone or another company, you are still liable for the actions of this company—if for nothing at all, for not checking that the right thing was done.

The reason why I am writing this email to you is that, I hope by now you have spotted the hypocrisy of the CEO of Red Row Estate-Christopher Aryeetey from the above photo. He joined Yvonne Nelson’s in the Dumsor vigil and shared her campaign all over—yet he is operating illegal connections at his estate where Yvonne Nelson also lives.

Who’s Lying? Security Guard At the Red Row Estate Confirms the Entire Estate Has Been Disconnected But Management Says Only 12 of Their Houses Had the Illegal Connection

GhanaCelebrities.Com broke the news that Red Row Estate where Ghanaian actress-Yvonne Nelson recently took a mortgage and currently lives has had its electricity disconnected by ECG for illegal connection—and non payment of bills.

Apparently, Yvonne Nelson’s own apartment was well fixed within the problem—and the source who tipped this information to us added that Yvonne Nelson bypassed air conditions which take more power and therefore charges, just to be paying her bulbs all this long….

Following this, one of GhanaCelebrities.Com’s journalists visited the estate to find out more about the report and unfortunately, he was arrested for no reason (CLICK HERE FOR MORE on your Journalist arrest and release).

However, before his arrest, the Security guard at the estate he spoke to confirmed the total estate disconnection—adding that, ECG disconnected the estate 3 days ago and all the houses in the estate have no meters.

Interestingly, the management of Red Row estate has also issued a well calculated press release, saying, it’s true that ECG has disconnected electricity at the estate but it’s for only 12 houses—which excludes Yvonne Nelson’s property.

ECG Disconnects Yvonne Nelson’s Apartment for Not Paying Electricity Bills & Using Illegal Connection?

Information reaching GhanaCelebrities.Com has it that actress-Yvonne Nelson who recently championed the #DumsorMustStop campaign has had her electricity disconnected for the reason that, she was not paying her bills and was also using illegal connection….

Apparently, ECG has disconnected the entire RED ROW Estate where Yvonne Nelson recent took a mortgage and currently lives for illegal connection.

Though unconfirmed, GhanaCelebrities.Com is told that, Yvonne Nelson bypassed air conditions which take more power and therefore charges, just to be paying her bulbs all this long….

For now, the criminal aspect of this situation is obvious as stealing electricity supply in Ghana is a crime. But the true question is; is this just an Yvonne Nelson witch-hunt or is Electricity Company of Ghana just doing their jobs?

If ECG is just doing their jobs, why did they take this long to spot this illegal connection—and why certainly immediately after the #DumsorMustStop Vigil?

According to ECG, illegal connection “occurs when the customer connects electricity supply to his premises without a meter.”

In the past, ECG has mentioned that the company loses millions of dollars a year as result of illegal connections—which affects the ability of the company to operate efficiently and as such illegal connection is somewhat part of the reasons why Ghanaians suffer power outages.

The important question is; why is Yvonne Nelson or her estate management people not paying the right electricity bills—if this is in whole the truth?
