Consumers lock up four IBEDC offices in Ibadan over erratic power supply

Some electricity consumers in Olodo, Lalupon and Iyana-church, Ibadan, Oyo State on Monday locked four offices of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company over alleged erratic power supply in the area.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the affected IBEDC offices were situated at Galilee, Haj Camp, Wakajaye and Alabebe in Monatan area of Ibadan.

The electricity consumers in their scores were seen carrying placards with various inscriptions calling on the electricity distribution company to disconnect the entire communities from the national grid.

The Chairman of the Lalupon Feeder Electricity Consumers’ Association, Rev. Jide Kehinde, told newsmen that there was no gainsaying that IBEDC has failed in its statutory duty of providing electricity to the residents of Lalupon, Olodo area.
