Landlords, residents and business owners have lamented the two-year blackout experienced in the Kila community, Orile-Ilugun, in the Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Members of the community, while complaining bitterly over the lack of power, said the development had grounded business operations in the community.
The community members, who accused vandals of being partly responsible for the blackout experienced in the community, said the suspects also plunged no fewer than 23 communities into darkness after stealing electrical cables used in supplying power in the communities. She said, “The last time we had light in this town was over two years ago. We buy ice blocks to sell the drinks since the issue of power supply started. We used to buy a piece for N300 to N400. But now, each bowl size of an ice block is N700 to N800, excluding the cost of transport.
