I dey go meet them to come remove their wire self. Bill 20k for one month. And I pay 10k, Them still cut my light. I no need the light again, I go dey use solar and gen help myself.

Was the protest violent? If not, why would the police arrest people protesting the perpetration of fraud/'419' by an agency that issues 'crazy bills' to their customers for power/light not supplied Or is the police supporting this wickedness and malfeasance? 'Diaries God oo'?

May be they too wear PDP caps on their head to protest. That too can be good reason like the Odua miscreants killed. At list them no shoot them. When an institution gain privilege power to benefit from corruption they will misplace justice and, abuse power. That's Nigeria police.

The criminal privatization of the power sector was designed to keep exploiting Nigerians through the Discos. Despite Billions released by the criminals in Government to them after Privatization and regular increment in tariff all we see is darkness.
