Na wah oo! Umuodum people don carry their issue come out as dem dey vex for EEDC!
For this their hot gist, dem don send petition for the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) because of wetin dem call fraud by Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC). According to the community, dem don dey owe N38.1 million wey EEDC claim say na unpaid electricity bill.
Dem talk say this wahala no be small one. Dem accuse EEDC say dem dey collabo with some of their past leaders wey don chop their money, as dem no go fit collect the bills the correct way. Na Chukwuebuka Daniel, Nweke Odum and Chukwuma Augustin Igboanugo nah sign the petition, and dem no hold back as dem let journalist sabi di matter.
Community sabi say dem get EEDC Customer Account No: 138994651, wey dem use collect electricity for the area. But as EEDC come disconnect power, dem begin investigate wetin dey happen. The former Chairman wey dey handle di village development matter wey be Izuchukwu Abana too don join di matter, since EEDC suppose don give am correct info about di payments.
Wetin dey even burst brain be say, dem receive letter from EEDC wey dey demand N38,123,672.73. But dem no gree accept say dem owe that amount, because dem don settle that money with di leadership of Chief Johnbosco Okafor. As the community dey react, dem dey vex say how EEDC go come give letter to the youth leader instead of going through their current caretaker chairman. E no make sense at all!
Dem dey call on NERC to call EEDC make dem come clear everything. Dem want make dem bring evidence say dem don collect di money or if na wetin dem dey claim say Chief Okafor no pay be true. E no easy o! Dis matter fit turn to serious gbege if dem no handle am well.
As we dey follow di matter, EEDC spokesperson, Emeka Ezeh don pass di ball to FirstPower Electricity Distribution Limited wey dey handle electricity for Anambra. Wetin happen next? Na only time go tell!
