Drama as Benin Residents Chase Away Electricity Officials for Trying to Disconnect their Light (Photos)

 

It was real drama as Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) and soldiers were allegedly given a chase on Wednesday after they stormed the compound of a member of the Edo Civil Society Organisations, Omobude Agho in Benin city Edo State, to disconnect power in his house with others in the environs over huge unpaid bills.

 

 

It was gathered that as soon as the officials got to the venue, some rampaging youths who resisted them from disconnecting the light mobilized and chased the officials away as they lamented over the continuous epileptic power supply.

 

 

The people also took back the electricity cables that were seized in the first place (as seen in the picture) after which they mobilised themselves and marched to the BEDC outlet in the region for a protest.
