PHED STAFF AND POLICE ATTACHED TO THEM WERE ATTACKED IN BAYELSA STATE

Blackout in Yenagoa. In as much as I condemn the actions of the angry youths, I will also condemn the activities of the PHED . Residents of Yenagoa hardly see power yet they bring outrageous bills every month. Sometimes in a month you only use Power for just 20 hours and they bring a bill for 5, 300 (for a 1-bedroom apartment). Considering the financial situation of people in the state, no salaries for months, fuel price have increase, people are just struggling to eat. Some of them watch TV and listen to radio to ameliorate their problems, yet they don't get electricity for that. The no light situation doesn't stop the bills from coming. Are we paying for the darkness? Because their officials were beaten so they are punishing the whole state. Just as the angry youths took the laws into their hands, the PHED officials are also taking the laws into their hands by denying residents of Yenagoa power.
