Men and officers from the Sam Ethnan Air Force Base in Ikeja, Lagos, have stormed the Ikeja Electric office in Alausa, Lagos, beating workers and destroying power and IT equipment.
Confirming the development to TheSun.ng at the Ikeja Electric office, Head of Corporate Communications, Mr Kingsley Okotie, said the invasion of their office was a fallout of the refusal of the military base to settle over ₦4 billion in electricity debt, which eventually led to the disconnection of electricity at the military base.
He said all efforts to ensure that the bill was cleared by the military have proved abortive.
Checks by TheSun.ng across some departments in Ikeja Electric revealed massive destruction of equipment at the IT room, server room, the CEO’s office, HR department, among other critical offices.
Some of the workers who sustained varying degrees of injury have been rushed to the hospital as at the time of filing this report.
