In the course of carrying out their lawful duties, our staff are
often assaulted by ‘consumers’ who attempt to prevent them from
performing their responsibilities.
This video is a typical illustration and it captures an irate
woman, a resident of Igbogbo in Ikorodu, threatening to harm an IE staff
who was in the process of disconnecting her from power supply because
she has consistently failed to pay her electricity bill. In a show of
utter recklessness, she threw caution as well as her dignity and wrapper
to the wind, to demonstrate her penchant for violence while raining
curses on the member of staff who was only doing his job.
She was so incensed that she failed to see the risk of
electrocution she exposed herself to by touching the ladder without any
protective gear on. The situation could also have quickly escalated
beyond control if the ladder lost its footing and caused our staff
serious bodily harm or worse. It took the intervention of other
residents of the community to contain her.
Ikeja Electric wishes to remind the general public that we maintain
our zero tolerance stance on assault on any member of staff and will
not hesitate to seek legal redress against any person who assaults any
member of staff. Assault is an offence punishable under Nigerian law and
we shall ensure that justice is served on persons found guilty of
assaulting our staff.
We have put various channels in place to address customer
complaints and we are using this medium to advise aggrieved customers to
seek redress through the appropriate channels.
