•Protest five months of blackout
Residents of Odutan Street in Ketu area of Lagos yesterday stormed the Ikeja District Electricity Company, IKDC’s office to protest over total blackout in the community and reject electricity bills numbering about 2,000.
They called for an urgent intervention of the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola in what they described as inhuman treatment by workers of the electricity company, saying the IKDC staff kept bringing estimated bills despite being in total blackout for over five months.
The angry residents also lamented that for almost two years, they have applied and paid for the prepaid metres but yet to get any after several months of promises.
