Residents jubilate as soldiers invade electric company in Kebbi and a$$ault staff

Some residents of Kebbi State were captured jubilating as soldiers allegedly a$$ault staff of Kaduna Electric Distribution Company at their head office in Birnin Kebbi.

The soldiers reportedly stormed the company on Saturday, April 29, over alleged disconnection of electricity at Dukku Barracks.

A statement by the company’s spokesperson, Abdulazeez Abdullahi, said the military never lodged any complaint regarding its services or any perceived grievances it might have had with the company before att@cking its staff.

“We cond£mn in strong terms the mol£§tation of our staff by men of the Nigerian Army in Birnin Kebbi.

The armed soldiers invaded our premises Saturday afternoon and unl£ashed mayh£m on unsuspecting staff and customers.

The helpless victims were b£aten and subjected to humili@ting treatment by the marauding soldiers for no reasons. Such brazen act of impunity has no place in the civilised society we live in.

Their action is all the more nauseating considering the fact that the military men have never lodged any complaint regarding our services or over any perceived grievance they may have had. In fact, several attempts by our management team in Kebbi state requesting meetings where issues of interest to be discussed were rebuffed

We wish to make clear that Kaduna Electric cannot guarantee its services in an unsafe environment. The safety and well being of our staff is a priority.

We do not tolerate such intimid@tion and mole£§tation of our staff and shall act appropriately within the law to seek redress,” the statement reads.
