The traditional ruler lamented the suffering of the community due to the power outage occasioned by cable theft.

Obade said, “We have been mandated to defend our facilities in our domain and that we have always done. Sometimes in August, we increased our surveillance due to what we heard from neighbouring clans and we caught someone in the Ikiogbe substation but he ran away. We caught another person vandalising armoured cable at the substation and handed him over to the police.

“We have a force station in Ugbegun with over five staff and if he has no ulterior motive he should have asked the staff to come and clear the grass around the sub-station. The vigilante saw the engineer on a motorbike with a passenger holding the armoured cable. We called in the police but they have not done anything since then as we gathered that he has been released.”

They noted that this had crippled business activities in the community, even as they called on the BEDC management and other relevant authority to come to their aid.
