Petroleum Dealers Bribe BEDC To Sabotage Constant Power Supply In Delta State by legenduq(m): 12:25am On Nov 10, 2017
So many football fans can relate to this. That moment you want to watch a crucial match and they seize the light grin grin so you can visit the nearest fuel station.

Secret Reporters

The constant electricity supply enjoyed by residents of Asaba for over two months following Delta State Government intervention has suddenly become elusive through the work of two Delta born billionaires, Secret Reporters has learnt.

We gathered from informed sources that the near twenty four hours light provided in Asaba has unsettled petroleum dealers and petrol station owners within the locality, as they no longer sell their product unlike before. Before Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa’s plea to Benin Electricity Development Commission (BEDC), Asaba residents were living in perpetual darkness and spending millions on petrol and diesel to power their generating set for hours, which yielded enough profit to the dealers.

Miffed by the steady supply of electricity, sources confided in Secret Reporters that the biggest losers were Gabriel Ogbeche who own Rain Oil and Sylvester Ukwandi who owns Anioma Petroleum and currently in charge of supplying the diesel to power Asaba street lights. They allegedly teamed up with their union to sabotage the electricity supply.

A source who works with BEDC revealed that the Rain Oil boss and Anioma Petroleum oil magnate allegedly went to BEDC where they parted with millions of Naira to one Millicent Ossai, who’s in charge of the commission to stop the supply of electricity to Asaba and put them in darkness. With this act, the people will start coming back to patronize them, making them smile to the bank.

Dis is not peculiar to Asaba but the entire Patani LGA in Delta state as well and still under this same BEDC.

I was opportune to visit and the LGA and was shocked to discover that this is one LGA where everybody runs on generator even though transformers and all electricity cables are okay.

These marketers also pay people to vandalise sensitive equipment and thwart every effort by the communities to ensure the black out remains constant and their petroleum products are continuously being patronized.

The LGA chairman n co turn n look d oda way while the people r forcefully being extorted.

Only God knows if they even have light now cos for almost 3 to 4yrs now the indegenes say its one story after the other.
