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 .

Problem without solution. We already know it is a zoo. Things are all messed up. What do we do? This is an online platform. Throw suggestions.

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

Make una get sense for 2019. Before u act, think!!!

Prophet777:
Where else in the world have you seen electricity or energy officials roaming about the street and intimidating the citizens in the name of payment of bills? In the 21st century. Shior! Stabbing them is wrong but let comments with sense... Estimated billing is evil and corruption of the highest order.
