Residents of Olosun community, Ota in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State have called on the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to come to their aid as the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) is making life unbearable for them.
They said most of the time, the community is in total darkness as a result of power outages lasting for days without any plausible explanation.
According to the residents, the action of the power company does not preclude it from bringing outrageous bills for consumers despite the persistent blackout.
A resident of the community, Mr. Matthew Olaosebikan, on Wednesday said: “Only God can save us from this persistent power outage from IBEDC. For over seven months now, it has been from one outage to another. We spent the last Christmas in darkness.
