The police and community vigilance group have arrested two men at Ozalla-Awada in Anambra State over assault on some field officers of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company who were on their legitimate duties.
The Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, Emeka Ezeh, said in a statement on Monday that the suspects were arrested on August 27. He said the officials were monitoring disconnected customers in parts of Ogidi community near Onitsha in Anambra on August 25 when they discovered an illegal connection at 13, Onyekwere Street, Ozalla-Awada, a 12-flat building with prepaid meters.
The EEDC spokesperson said that it was also discovered that the tenants in the building tampered with their prepaid meters, which led to disconnection of the house by the EEDC surveillance team some months ago. He said the occupants, instead of visiting EEDC office to resolve the issue, resorted to illegally reconnecting themselves and were enjoying electricity supply before the monitoring team discovered the illegal connection and disconnected them accordingly.
