Worried over increasing number of violent attacks on its staff while performing their lawful duties, Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company has warned that anyone found guilty of indulging in the act would be made to face law.

In a statement by Head, Corporate Communications Unit of the company, Felix Ofulue, in Lagos, the company expressed shocked at the level of violence, citing a recent incident at Akowonjo, Lagos, where an aggrieved woman allegedly stabbed one of its staff.

He said that field staff were often attacked by aggrieved customers on matters which were completely beyond their control as workers of a distribution company.

“It is quite disheartening that a customer will resort to such levels of violence under any circumstance, to express her grievance without even considering the enormity of the action, which could have easily resulted in murder if the staff had died. This is appalling and totally unacceptable,” Ofolue said.
