Ekiti landlords sue BEDC over arbitrary billing, electricity disconnection
The Ekiti State landlords’ association has sued the Benin Electricity Distribution company over alleged over-billing and illegal disconnection of electricity in the state.
They prayed the court to determine among other things, whether the BEDC going by the provision of sections 32, 80, 81,82 and 96 were empowered to impose arbitrary charge without deferring to NERC. They contended that having regards to sections 63 and 76 that NERC was empowered by the electricity Act to determine amount to pay on electricity and that the BEDC must comply with the law.
“My Lord, upon filing our suit in court on March 28, we served the defendants all relevant papers. We even filed counter affidavits to their replies on May 3.
