Eko Electricity Distribution Company Plc (EKEDC) has decried the continued vandalism of power supply facilities within its franchise area, especially Mushin, Yaba Surulere, Ijora, Apapa and Lagos Island areas.
According to a statement from the management of EKEDC seen by BusinessDay, these cases of vandalism have caused unnecessary and prolonged outages, leading to disruptions of many businesses, and loss of lives, particularly of innocent and unsuspecting members of the public.
“The activities of the vandals have made it difficult for EKEDC to provide adequate electricity to its customers whilst also posing a serious challenge to its distribution infrastructure,” EKDC said.

“EKEDC will like to unequivocally reiterate that one Yunusa.S Power Global Services Limited is not our agenct and does not have our mandate to carry out any form of cable excavation, whatsoever, on any electrical or cable installations within our network areas,” EKDC said
