A Jos-based Social Worker, Mr. Henry Chike Okonkwo has dragged Jos Electricity Distribution Company to court over exorbitant estimated bills.
The suit of action in the High Court of Justice 2 in Jos, Plateau state capital between Okonkwo and the electricity distribution company has been instituted by the plaintiff, Mr. Okonkwo. All efforts to resolve the matter proved abortive after the plaintiff had requested that he would need a prepaid meter as an alternative, but was told by the feeder manager that the prepaid meter was not available.
A letter was written and served to the company on 10th of May, 2019 to that effect, but the company failed to respond, thus carrying out their threat of disconnection. A reminder letter was written and served to the company on the 28th May, 2019 but the company also failed to respond before the matter was instituted in Court.A writ of summon was served on the company to that effect, even though the defendant failed to show up in Court.
