WorldStage Newsonline– The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has attributed the power outage experienced by some of its customers late on Friday to system collapse from the National Grid (NG).
Mr Godwin Idemudia, the General Manager, Corporate Communications, EKEDC, in a statement he issued in Lagos on Saturday said that the collapse occurred at about 9.38 p.m. on Friday but was restored early on Saturday morning.
Idemudia apologised to EKEDC’s customers affected by the outage, explaining that it was not the company’s fault.
The general manager also denied allegations of mass disconnection of consumers’ lines by the disco.
He said that those disconnected were customers owing the company.
He warned customers against harassing or assaulting EKEDC’s officials carrying out their statutory duties.
He said that the company would no longer tolerate the assault of its staff.
