Suspected hoodlums have burnt the Ogidi District of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC in Anambra State.Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, Mr. Emeka Ezeh, who confirmed the arson, said the incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, May 16, 2022, at about 1.45 am by unidentified criminal elements.
According to Ezeh, about 32 utility and operational vehicles, along with other assets and equipment within the premises were burnt by the assailants.Ezeh lamented that efforts made to reach the Anambra State Fire Service at the time to quickly put out the fire did not yield any positive result. He said members of staff did what they could to salvage the situation as they watched the office building and other assets go down in flames.He said,"It later took the intervention of the Honourable Commissioner for Utilities, Anambra State, Engr. Julius Chukwuemeka, at about 9.05 am this morning to bring the Fire Service team down to the scene of the incident.
“We thank God that no life was lost, we condemn this unjustifiable act and pray such does not reoccur,” Ezeh said.
Hoodlums! Call them by their names ‘terrorists’ or ‘bokoharam’, they all emerged from the same source. Barbaric groups formed by France and arranged by CAN to disintegrate our dear nation
Community will contribute money and buy transformer, wire and pole,pay money for installation,next thing this property belongs to nepa and they will start cutting people's light after giving them crazy estimated bills without light. Fight against corruption should start from nepa
Is there any sense in what they just did
Insecurity
No hoodlum go burn nepa office, especially when 'up nepa' na nigerian athem. Market dem fit, vehicles probably but nepa office? I seriously doubt it. Make una check am well well.
U forgot to add 5bn wey Dem burn join the house
We need to take exception to this anarchy befallen the SE, SE governors and all the leaders of the region need to wake and do the needful, how long can this continue, it really affecting the region negative and the the nation at large whatever angle you want to view it.
You said, you are fighting for your people and you are destroying your region, can't you use your common sense?
And then what? go home to sleep in darkness, cutting your nose to spite your face.
Problem no dey finish
Every state should start destroying Nepa offices
Very good,since they refuse to keep light for us
Just forget light for life ✨️
For Christ sake, why are we still having all these wanton destructions everywhere both lives and properties. God pls intervene in the situation of this nation urgently.
They want to make Soludo uncomfortable. God will frustrate you all and your masters.
They also kill our brother and burn his car too this early morning we are still weeping he is our youth chairman of umusiome nkpor
Electricity distribution company eni sorire
This is so sad
There's no justification for arsonist
East of Nigeria going back thirty years
It so cold outside
Victory to the IPOBIANS
Lagos is next
DSS and Nig soldiers at work.
Stop the fake News, nothing like that happened in Anambra
It will get to another stage where grenade will be tossed into their office for their criminality. Paying for darkness with huge sum is a crime against humanity.
Unknown gunmen🤸
Who will not have light now for 6 month.
Awon omokomo apa … who will suffer this now
The people get poorer!
All these stuff aren’t news anymore, they are just anticipated events. We know they are going to happen but we don’t know the exact date, time and location. Make everybody gettat abeg
Anambra people continue destroying your State and some idiots will still be defending them.
They just want to tension this new govt
Thank God, nobody tag unknown gunmen or IPOB in this one. When you are using generator at home, generator in the work place day and night and another group of people will now come give you bills that you didn't use, is it not provoking?
Ablejoe080 you see it?
CCSoludo what's going on, my n!ggar?
I read in one online media it's inec office
Welcome to darkness
What if we assume these people are turning on themselves. Who do them so?
Why do people always lie lie
This is too bad oo
With this ugly development your guess is as good as mine. Many indigenes will lose their job, businesses will suffer, and homes will be thrown into darkness. Southeast wake up, this is self-destruction riot
Them don swear say them no go see light for like 25yrs b that ooo 🤔🤔🤔
Extraagency Northerns should be accountable of that it’s what they can do it happened in east doesn’t necessarily means it’s done by the indigene
32 vehicles...This is becoming monster deserve to be tamed quickly
What really happened before the burning?
There's no electricity in the useless idiotic contraption called Nigeria
Why almost everybody here are blaming and condemning igbos when such incident happen in igbo land. One day these unknown gunmen will be unmasked for people to discover that the perpetrator of all these dastardly acts are not igbo men...killing and maiming is not in igbo blood
They keep saying hoodlums...this are all political thugs sponsored by the Nigerian government
Dead buhari have set the zoo call Nigeria on fire biafar is only hope
I guess they don’t know how many years they’ve retrogress!
This is what kanu wanted Yorubas to be doing in SW, awon werey
How we allow this kind of ppl to lead us in this country?
Na Hausa northerners
Na una nor go still get light. You better stop this rubbish and bring back peace to that region
It's IPOB that carried out the attacks but it won't be difficult for you to shout fulani herdsmen if they are the one. hypocrites
What's going on na,why are they doing this..Are they happy now ? Na wa ooo
The same people who burn it down with their leaders who couldn't stop them are the ones to suffer lack of electricity. Self sabotage
This is result of Nigeria failure to give development and electricity to them.
Why is people keeping destroying their things
Welcome to dark tunnel for 20 yrs
The youth has risen to rtareat and know they're called hoodlums but the North are destroying the property Igbos they're being pampered and called themselves he children of Allah stupidity this is small self very soon the whole Hausa Fulani for East go soon collect
They hardly get light though what's the difference?
Oh that is good for those wicked power blockers called power holding
Ok wats next now?😒
The dividends of democracy is coming home to roost. All the stealing by so called govt officials, whereby they classifying themselves as being more Nigerians than the common men will soon take its toll on them. The poor will eat the rich thieves one day. Signs of frustrations.
Now they won’t have light for two years. The least places to get brunt down is NEPA office. Una eyes go see shege
Na wahooooooo
Very good, pls make sure the electricity isn't restored for another 1yr
Nepa 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣
Hoodlums abi...ema tan ara yin......oniya yin lo ma je eyi toju
Hey. Nsogbu di kwa🤦♂️🙆♀️
