Group Says Lagos Residents Hit With N50,000–N200,000 Electricity Bills Despite Barely One Hour Supply In April, Condemns EKEDC

Explaining its position on the issue, the group said it considered the situation to reflect broader concerns within the electricity sector.

The Ajegunle Peoples Movement has accused Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) of issuing inflated estimated electricity bills to residents of Ajeromi-Ifelodun in April despite what it described as poor and erratic power supply during the period.

In a statement signed by the Secretary of the Ajegunle Peoples Movement, Comrade Babatunde Yusuf, the group alleged that several residents received multiple electricity bills ranging from N50,000 to over N200,000, even though electricity supply reportedly remained largely inconsistent across the affected communities.

It also referenced public apologies issued by the electricity distribution company over epileptic power supply, which it attributed to reduced allocation and faults at the Badia substation, alongside meetings held with stakeholders to address consumer complaints.
