Thousands of residents of Ore in Ondo State staged what was reportedly a violent protest from 10am today about what a witness at the scene described as "the non-connection of electricity for six years to their community".  Protesters held a rally in the town barricading roads demanding from the power companies: "Bring back our light".

Which DISCO is in charge of that area? Is it BEDC? I will not be surprised, if they are the one. They are gradually acquiring the reputation of the most inefficient DisCo in Nigeria, second only to EKEDC in Lagos.

See as Ore people are complaining, yet Omotosho I and II Power Stations, are located right within Ondo State, not too far from Ore, just about 50 km away.

Why are you bloggers like this? Posting false information just to draw traffic to your useless blog. This is not how Linda Ikeji and Seun Osewa did it. Publishing fake info dies more damage to the reputation of your blog. I think your blog should be blacklisted.

I am based in Ore. And for that yeye blogger info there has been power supply in the town and even in remote settlements like forever. The only town that has issue is Okitipupa and axis. Ore as I am typing have their power intact. OP should look for another lie

So it is all about BMC and party politics. It is not about objectivity, rationality and sensitization? Common dude, the media don't drive on misinformation to become acceptable.

For your info, I am based in Ore. Power is supplied from Osogbo through 11 and 33 Kva line. Those connected to the old line have constant 5-10hrs power supply everyday. And those connected to the 33kv line have about 15-20hr power supply everyday. All the villages and communities between Ondo Town and Ore (Odigbo, Ajue, Omifon and the likes have 24 hrs supply because they are less populated there. The 33kv passes through Show boy express to Iroju area. There are lot of industries along this line, very populated and cost of living high but they have regular supply. The only area that is not connect is Ogbe, olowo and lafe. These areas are not in Ore. They are farm zones populated by Ikale and its in Irele LGA though have a very close proximity to Ore. Also, the new sites and kajola ojurin are not connected yet. Anyone living in Ore even residence of Iroju, Gboguntesu and Show axis cuz like there stays for over 15hrs every day.

In Okitipupa, Ese Odo and Irele LGA,there have been no supply there for years. And the current government is making endless effort to conect them to Omotosho grid. There are power poles in place that passes through Ode-Aye to Okitipupa.

The only time had issue in Ore is last year during the raining season when some supply poles got damaged by the trees that fell on it. And it took the engineers about three weeks to fix it. Another case is this year when a truck load ram and damage more than 10 poles. The driver settled the Power Engineers and it was fixed within a week or two. So where in hell did you find non supply of power for three years? Do you even live in Ore?

And I need to ask you...which part of Ore-Benin exprrss does the protest took place? Cuz yesterday, there was nothing like protest around Ondo junction, Adolak axis or Frankel axis. So tell us where the protest took place exactly.

The report was from an eyewitness with pictures. If you know the road, you should recognise where the pics were taken from.
