Officers of the Nigeria Air Force Thursday stormed the offices of the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company and left the premises in disarray.
It was gathered that the air force officers were furious with the IKEDC’s disconnection of power supply to their logistics base over allegations of unpaid bills and power theft.
They allegedly smashed doors as they search for the IKEDC’s CEO, Mrs. Folake Soetan. Eyewitness told Arise TV that when they found her, she forced into the trunk of a vehicle parked in the premises.
A similar attack occurred at Ikeja Electric’s business unit on Ago Palace Way, Okota, Isolo, Lagos, where military personnel were seen wielding firearms and assaulting staff members.
A viral video circulating online captured over seven staff members seen kneeling on the ground while others were being physically assaulted. Armed personnel patrolled the premises, further heightening concerns over the use of force against civilian workers.
This attack comes barely a day after Ikeja Electric disconnected power supply to the NAF logistics base in Ikeja over unpaid bills and electricity theft.
