Eid-el-Fitr: IBEDC Warns Against Staff Assault

Worried by the incessant cases of assault and attack on its staff, the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), has warned members of the public against harassing and assaulting its staff.

OSUN DEFENDER reports that in the recent past, some members of the public have been arrested by law enforcement agents, in the wake of varying levels of assault on IBEDC staff.

In a statement, the Managing Director, Engr. Kingsley Achife, said the act is criminal and those culpable will be punished.

Achife, on behalf of the management of the company felicitated Muslims and all Nigerians on the occasion of Eid-El-Fitri.

IBEDC emphasized the importance of the season’s sacrifice in fostering love and selflessness for Nigeria’s prosperity.

The statement said, “The Managing Director appealed to customers to stop assaulting IBEDC staff, as it is a criminal offence that can attract jail terms. He urged customers to report complaints to IBEDC offices or call the customer care line at 07001239999 instead of resorting to violence.

“He also warned against tampering with electrical installations, highlighting the dangers of such actions, which can lead to electrical accidents.

“The MD also advised communities to watch over their electrical installations and report any suspected act of vandalism.  It is important that communities join us in the fight against vandalism to avoid being plunged into darkness even during this holiday.”
