IBEDC’s Monatan District Frustrating Residents With Illegal Disconnection, Angry Customers Cry Out

From Ogundele Olanrewaju

Frustrated by the illegal disconnection of power supply from her office and unfair treatment of residents, a customer, identified as Mrs Ayodeni Aluko, has condemned the action being perpetrated by the officials of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company IBEDC, Monatan District.

Ayodeni, whose office is located at Adex bus-stop, Monatan, Iwo road, was disconnected last Thursday without prior notice, and despite paying the sum of N10,000 to process her prepaid meter.

The furious customer noted that such action was flagrantly unfair, and should not have been carried out without any issuance of a notice of disconnection as stipulated by the law governing connection and disconnection of electricity supply in Nigeria.

In her narration, Ayodeni said: “About three months ago, I approached them to request for a personal prepaid meter so as to save myself of any embarrassment.
