Nationwide blackout hits Ghana

Majority of Ghanaians went to bed without power Wednesday night after what appeared to be a nationwide blackout hit the West African nation.

The lights went off around 9pm GMT.

The last time a nationwide blackout hit Ghana was in January 2016 as a result of system failure.

The nation’s power producer, the Volta River Authority, transmitter GRIDCo and distributor Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) are yet to officially communicate the cause of the outage popularly known as ‘dumsor’.

Ghanaians took to social media to vent their spleen:
