Serves him right, though the community may experience power outtage for a while, but it'll give the Nepa guys a second thought when next they're around same place.

Nepa guys are the greatest fraudsters of all time in areas without prepaid meters.

They extort with pleasure.

aahh 2 yrs una no go get lyt

For the past 6 days I haven't seen light in street Olugbede market egbeda I'm waiting for them to come disconnect

What?

This NEPA needs to be punished, they don't fear God.... they are one of the closest government agencies that cheats us....Even after they have been sold.

Nepa official doesn't pay bills

Why would they do that? Law is Law pay up or get disconnected...

The power companies should stop endangering the lives of their workers by sending them on such errands. If those buildings have been metred, there wouldn't have been any need to cut off their supply.

The unfortunate thing is that even after disconnection, these companies will still bring their fraudulent estimated bills for power not consumed. Why won't people be agitated?

This isn't in support of any violent act though.

Literally taking the law into ur own hands..wonder which kind of prayers those nepa people pray b4 leaving home sef. More like "Dear Lord, don't bless ur people so they won't be able to pay their bills" ..na settlement sure pass

people dey vex ooo

The NEPA guys just have to put off the light from their station without going there. It means everyone will suffer it for as long as the NEPA people want whether you've paid or you haven't paid. Even if you have prepaid meters.

Their excuse will be that the are is not safe and you guys can't do much about it.

Not why I find the sight so funny

Chai!

And here we dey pray make them carry light.

We dey get light 18-20hours a day

It has been a month that we ve seen light @Afeez Lawal street AIT Alagbado i am waiting for their useless bill...

I feel sorry for these NEPA officials that are just doing their jobs yet are being attacked. It's a hard day's job for them.

Really? Even when you don’t see light and get billed every month?

Well "Beheading aint the solution to headache""
From my experience, what the guy just did now is to the detriment of everyone in his vicinity...

The main reason why we have problems with power is people who won't pay their bills and attack disco officials doing their jobs.

Yes, discos 'extort' us, but if you were running a business and people took things for free, would you have money to invest in growing your business.

Nigerians want free power. Even if you give these guys free meter, they will bypass it.

And we Nigerians are so uncivilized. Assaulting people is a criminal offence

And the reason why many.people don't have light is because of the many who don't pay for their power

In some areas,that can warrant un-invited guest in the evening/night/midnight. Just one small flash,boss go call everybody to make sure the light no shake @ all. Because if light shake,his/her head go shake .

But who curse us like this. Is light rocket science ni

I don't blame the residents.

He was just doing his job. People should learn to direct their grievances through the appropriate channels.
