Angry Soldiers Invade NEPA Office, Flog Staf Mercilessly Over Poor Supply. by Ndkings1(m): 10:18pm On Mar 30, 2016 |
It was like a scene out of an action movie when
about 6 soldiers attached to the 35 Artillery
Brigade, Alamala Barracks, Abeokuta, Ogun State
and led by one Major Musa, stormed the Ibadan
Electricity Distribution Company ( IBEDC )
substation – Olumo business hub, Rounder – on
March 6 and beat up Salau Adekunle, the man on
duty, over poor power supply.
Workers of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution
Company say they have become fearful in their
office when the soldiers descended on Adekunle,
the substation’s distribution officer, with horse
whips, because, presently on the average, the
barracks and environs get 5 hours supply daily,
which falls short of the soldiers’ expectation.
Narrating his experience to the Punch, Adekunle
said:
“They told me to get up and without explanation,
they started beating me. They complained that
they did not get supply regularly, but it is not our
fault. They said they would be the ones to
determine the number of hours they want power.
We told them it was not possible, but they didn’t
want to listen.”
Corroborating the story, Adekunle’s colleague,
said, “Electricity supply is divided into 3 levels –
generation, transmission and distribution. This
implies that generation affects transmission,
which in turn affects distribution.
“If there is less sufficient generated power, then
there will be less power at our own side to
distribute to the community, including the
barracks. Before now, there was supply for at
least 8 hours and at times, 15 hours. Electricity
generation has reduced from 4517MW to 2800MW
and now to over 1500MW.
“All this is known and understood by the soldiers,
but they pretend as if they do not know; that is
why they now get 5 hours’ supply per day.
Initially, the soldiers blamed us. Soon, it
graduated to threats. They once arrested us and
took us to their barracks and detained us for
hours; l was a victim.”
Another official said they had been living in fear
since the incident happened, adding that threats
from the soldiers had intensified. “They said it
would not be threats again, but killing. Major
Musa said he would send soldiers we don’t
know. We spoke out because we cannot wait for
them to kill us.
