Permit me to use this forum to bring to your notice and indeed that of all Nigerians, the inhuman act the Kabba, Kogi State branch of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) is meting out on Edumo, a community under their purview.

It started on Saturday, 24 February, when they carried out disconnection at Edumo. An ugly incident was said to have ensued between them and a household, thus leading to exchange of words and later, a claim from the AEDC agents that their car tire was deflated.

This led to the arrest of the person that had problem with them.

Then, in flexing their muscle further, the AEDC agents decided to disconnect the transformer of the entire community, thereby rendering about one thousand household that the transformer serve without light for three days running.

As if their injustice was not enough, a self acclaimed rich man in the community who took his own light directly from the transformer called the same AEDC agents on Sunday, only for them to come and connect only his own fuse. By implication, a transformer that serves about a thousand household now render service to only one household who could afford to 'settle,' what an impunity!

The questions begging for answers are:

- if the community was on prepaid metre, would AEDC had afford to willfully switch off an entirely community because of a grievance with one person?

- if it had been in a 'big man's' community, would AEDC had meted the same inhuman punishment?

- if it had been a community that is known for lawlessness, would AEDC had attempted such?

This country belongs to all of us, and until we start seeing it a such, injustice and impunity will continue to prevail and no matter how well our leaders try, their effort will count less.
