Kinsley Achife, the company’s managing director, said in a statement on Wednesday that power distribution businesses offer a necessary service that is vital to citizens’ daily lives.

Achife said, “The attack on these offices not only causes damage to the property but also disrupts the provision of electricity which affects the livelihoods of many and throws communities into darkness.

“We understand that these are trying times for us all, but attacking staff who are also Nigerians and destroying electrical installations will further exacerbate the challenges. We urge the public to maintain law and order and refrain from engaging in any form of assault against electricity workers who are primarily there to support you, your homes and your businesses.”
