Crazy bills: 22 communities ask IKEDC for disconnection
Angered by monthly exorbitant bills, 22 communities in Ikorodu North Local Council Development Area, LCDA, in Lagos State, have written to Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company, IKEDC, for disconnection.
In a letter dated February 18, 2021, titled ‘Request for de-Loading of Transformers in our Communities’, and signed by chairmen of the 22 Community Development Associations, CDAs, in Ward E4, Ikorodu North, the communities stressed that they were tired of paying outrageous bills monthly.
According to the communities, under the aegis of Joint CDAs, Ward E4, led by Mr. Alaba Salako, this was despite the fact that they had written and interfaced with IKEDC severally over prepaid metres, high bills, poor services, etc.
The letter reads, “We wish to humbly request the immediate de-loading of the 13 transformers in the 21 communities in our areas by your organization.
“This is as a result of the blatant refusal of the IKEDC to look into several representations on issues connected with your services at various offices of your organisation – Adamo, Imota, Ikorodu and IKEDC headquarters without success.
“For the records, our organization is the body representing all Community Development Associations, CDAs, in Ward E4, Ikorodu North Local Council Development Area, Ikorodu. And it is an indisputable fact that we have written severally to your organisation on these matters which include estimated billing, poor services and prepaid metres without any headway.
