SO SAD! NEPA Staff Stabbed To Death For Disconnecting Light In Abuja (Video)

An aggrieved customer has killed an official of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), and injured one other for disconnecting their light in Kabusa area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The AEDC officials were on duty on Tuesday disconnecting the electricity of customers who failed to pay their bills before a man came from behind to stab two of them.

The Head of Corporate Commission of AEDC, Oyebode Fadipe, who confirmed the attack, said one of the officials died, but the other is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja.

“Preliminary report has however confirmed the death of one person while the other is in the hospital,” Fadipe said.

“The official did not even visit the customers house to disconnect his power supply. But he just attacked them from behind. Members of the community later overpowered him.”

The body of the deceased AEDC official has been deposited at the mortuary in Garki Hospital, Area 8, Abuja.

Fadipe noted that officials of the electricity company have been under a series of vicious attacks recently.
