A 22 - year- old man , Oluwadamilare Temenu , has reportedly stabbed a technician with the Ikeja Electric, Oluwaseyi Amao, for disconnecting power supply to his residence at No. 13 Adesanya Street, in the Mafoluku area of Oshodi , Lagos State.

Report gathered that Amao and his colleague , Yusuf Tunde, had acted on a disconnection order by the management of Ikeja Electric, an electricity distribution company, which had marked some flats in the building for disconnection over unpaid bills , when they were attacked .

Amao, who said he gave the residents a month ’s grace to pay their outstanding bills , added that he was surprised that one of them would attack him for disconnecting power supply to his apartment despite owing over N 300,000 .

The 42 - year- old technician said , “ We were given a disconnection order to execute at No . 13 Adesanya Street, Mafoluku , Oshodi, last Thursday . The building has four flats; one flat has a prepaid meter, while the remaining three are on estimated billing; but we were given a disconnection order on the two flats with over N 200, 000 and N 100, 000 debts, respectively.

“ Before that day , I had visited the house for disconnection last month and one of the residents , the one using prepaid meter, had pledged to speak with the others to pay their debts , because it was only one wire that supplies power to the four flats. If we cut off the wire , the whole flats will be affected , including the one with prepaid meter, but they still refused to pay .

“ So, on the day I was instructed to execute the disconnection order , I explained to the residents, including the guy who stabbed me , that I was there the previous month and that since they had refused to clear their outstanding bills , I had been instructed to disconnect power supply to their apartment . He never argued with me , but I was surprised that he said I was looking for trouble when he saw me climbing the pole .

“ All of a sudden , he went inside his flat , brought out a crate of bottles and broke two bottles. I quickly jumped down and he chased after me and stabbed me . He first stabbed me in the neck and head; to avoid more harm , I held him tightly and told my colleague , Tunde, to inform our other colleagues to bring a vehicle so that we could take him to the police station. ”
His other colleagues eventually brought a vehicle , which conveyed Temenu to the police station.

An eyewitness , Segun Gbenro, said residents of the area condemned Temenu for stabbing Amao while performing his duty .

“ About two weeks ago , he (Temenu ) had a fight in the area and he stripped himself naked . He had no reason to stab the IE official ; even the people he lives with faulted his action and other residents of the area also condemned his action, ” he stated .

The Public Relations Officer , Ikeja Electric , Felix Ofulue , who condemned the attack , said the firm would explore all necessary means to bring to justice any person or group, who took the law into their own hands by inflicting bodily harm on its officials when performing their duties .

Please this is January, it's too early for all this!

The funny thing is that the Oluwadamilare guy that decided to stab someone now will be in jail crying like a baby and blaming the devil. That's the hilarious thing about these impulsive guys who like to attack Nepa without thinking.
One guy in my area did the same thing and was arrested. He didn't even stab he just brought out a knife and was threatening the woman that came to work. As soon as he was arrested, come and see full grown man crying like a baby with his nose running and all. Lol

The 'stabber' was a full blown fool mumu,he could have waited for the idiot IE 'disconnector' to fhnish his yeye job,then call on electrician to reconnect him through backyard after all the prepaid me can't be disconnected...Take your time to do the jailing!

IKDC is a failure.since 2014 the Pre-paid Metre they collected money is yet to be fixed in my house somebody they bring stabbing to FP .yeye they smell! IKDC license must not be renewed for goodness.if my money was invested since it would have been a save since galloping inflation of three years ago,yet the buffoons in Ikeja thought Nigerians are fools and still go about estimated billing This ladder of ECN days are no longer necessary in this 21st Century of energy consumption if all the houses have Pre-paid as in other Countries but corruption will not allow them.Shame to IKDC.

ZOO!
