Morning fellow Nairalanders...

Road construction claims my dad's house, so we build 3 shops on the remaining piece of land. After the completion the occupants needs electricity and I go to IE office to open an account to have access to electricity.

I noticed that I used to get monthly SMS on electricity charges but didn't know it was for the property and I have once filled a form for prepaid meter but I have left the place so I didn't take it serious.

One day, the caretaker called me that the wire was disconnected and the people can't work due to the nature of their businesses. He said he knows the guy distributing bills and he wants to help get prepaid meter. He said 2k is for the form and I'll pay 10k for an official to help fills the form.

Now I'm receiving 2 bills charges and they are yet to bring prepaid meter. I sent him there he said they asked us to write them that they will cancelled the latter bill and use the first one. The following day, he called me that he met with an IE worker and he advised that I should not write that it is there fault.

I need your advice. What should I do?

OP I think you need a lawyer

I've talked with him and he has hooked me up with a friend of his that knows someone at my distribution center. Thanks
