the Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, of “deliberately” causing perpetual blackout in order to extort them.
The chairman, Fanibi Landlords’ Association, Mr Olubunmi Mapayi also alleged that officials of BEDC have been terrorising residents of the community with outrageous billing while they refused to issue prepaid meters to them. “We are not owing them. I have also been there to complain several times that the bill they give us is too much as they give every flat N15,000 on monthly basis.
Meanwhile, a breakdown of law and order was swiftly prevented by men of the Nigeria Police as well as officials of the DSS as some of the youths had headed for the office of the BEDC when they barricaded gate to the premises and disallowed BEDC officers from gaining entrance in their offices.
