In the statement signed by the Head of Communications, Ibrahim Shawai, KEDCO urged communities and residents to aid in safeguarding electrical installations within their respective communities. “The problem has almost become a yearly event when hoodlums take advantage of the rainy season to steal the company’s equipment and installation. This needs to be stopped”, the statement read.
“Whenever transformer oil and cables are stolen from any transformer, the act will deny customers of their comfort and right to maximum satisfaction”, the statement continued. “Our investment in power installation is to serve our customers and not hoodlums”.
“We have strengthened our surveillance in that regard so as to guarantee our customers’ satisfaction”. The Managing Director of the company, Dr Jamil Isyaku-Gwamna, also issued a warning to the vandals saying, anyone caught would be dealt with according to the provisions of the law.
