The community near the Ibafo-Mowe axis on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway hit the headlines last year for being without power for close to a decade. After being connected to the grid, residents now said they have not been enjoying seamless power supply and they are often slammed wayward bills by Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBDEC).
Some of the residents on Saturday protested what they called “crazy bills and insensitivity” of IBEDC.
The community popularly referred to as “Second Lagos’’, described IBDEC services as a rip off .
The protesters, who converged on the main road of the community and also proceeded to the IBDEC office with some of the community leaders, also blocked part of the road, causing traffic jam.
The placard-carrying protesters, who had assembled as early as 7.03 a.m., asked IBDEC to redress the issues raised.
Among the demands was that IBEDC install prepaid meters in their homes .
