Some soldiers in the Republic of Nigeria, on Saturday, invaded the head office of the Kaduna Electric Distribution Company in Birnin Kebbi and molested customers and staff on duty.
The irate soldiers stormed the Kaduna Electric head office after their barracks was allegedly disconnected from the national grid.
Local report said that some of the staff and customers sustained mild injuries.
Meanwhile, Kaduna Electric Distribution Company has condemned the action of the soldiers, describing it as an act of impunity.
“Such brazen act of impunity has no place in the civilised society we live in. Their action is all the more nauseating, considering the fact that the military men have never lodged any complaint regarding our services or over any perceived grievance they may have had,” a statement issued by Abdulazeez Abdullahi, Head, Corporate Communication at Kaduna Electric Distribution Company, said.
According to him, several attempts by the management team in Kebbi State, requesting meetings where issues of interest were to be discussed, were rebuffed.
“We wish to make it clear that Kaduna Electric cannot guarantee its services in an unsafe environment. The safety and well being of our staff is a priority.
“We do not tolerate such intimidation and molestation of our staff and shall act appropriately within the law to seek redress,” he concluded.
