PHCN OFFICIAL RECEIEVES BEATING OF A LIFETIME FOR BILL DISTRIBUTION

A staff of the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC), Eunice Enyi, is currently recuperating in a private hospital after a 40-year-old man, Ozoigbo Ikenna, descended on her and gave her the beating of her life when she went to distribute electricity bills in the Oko-Oba area of Agege, Lagos State.


It was gathered that Ikenna, a resident of Williams Eliot Street in the area, was angry when Enyi and some other officials of the company went around distributing the bills and threatening to cut supplies to homes that refused to pay the estimated bill.

The residents were said to have questioned the power officials why they still brought the high bills when they had not been enjoying electricity for many months but Enyi was said to have told them they should not complain as they were not the ones responsible for the power outage.


The statement apparently got Ikenna angry and he pounced on her and assaulted her.
He was arraigned at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on two-count charges of assault and breach of peace to which he pleaded not guilty.
