Due to power outages and unpaid payments, Ikeja Electric, a Nigerian energy distribution firm, has responded to the Nigerian Navy’s Thursday invasion of its offices.
The spokesperson for Ikeja Electric, in a statement on Thursday, said the Nigerian Navy’s invasion and harassment had made it difficult for staff to work.
DAILY POST reported that military officers barricaded the headquarters of Ikeja Electric due to the disconnection.
Reacting, Ikeja Electric spokesperson Kingsley Okotie said that the military premises were disconnected not only because of unpaid bills but also due to other operational issues.
“The disconnection was not just about non-payment. There are operational factors at play, including serious safety concerns for our staff.
“We have faced incidents of harassment, making it increasingly difficult for our staff to work in such conditions,” Okotie said.
