Nigerian mobile police officers numbering about 8 last Sunday stormed Yelwa Business Unit of Yola power Distribution Company in Adamawa State and vented their anger on the staff on duty.

According to energynewsafrica.com’s sources, the mobile police officers stormed the office at about 0851hrs and ordered all the staff including the cashier out of their offices and instructed them to sit on the ground in the premises for some hours.

It was not clear why the officer took that action.

However, our sources indicate that Yola disconnected power supply to the Mobile Police Barracks without notifying them.

“It was only after two of the Technical Staff Ahmed and Silas explained to them why they were disconnected before they finally left,” a source told energynewsafrica.com.

The barbaric action of the police has since been reported to the Commissioner of Police for Adamawa Command and he has ordered investigation and arrest of the police officers involved.

The Head of Corporate Communications for Yola DisCo, Gbenga Adebola who confirmed the incident told this portal that they have officially reported the issue to Mr. Afolabi Adeniyi, Adamawa State Commissioner of Police.

According to him, the Commissioner confirmed receipt of the report and ordered an investigation into the matter.

He said the officers involved were subsequently arrested and detained for further interrogation.
