A shocking CCTV footage shared by Arise TV journalist, Rufai Oseni, has captured the moment military officers stormed the headquarters of the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) after their power supply was disconnected due to an outstanding ₦4 billion debt.
The video, which has since gone viral, shows armed men in military uniforms entering the premises, allegedly harassing staff members in an attempt to forcefully restore electricity. The footage has sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians condemning the act as a blatant abuse of power.
Social media users expressed outrage, questioning how a government institution could amass such a huge electricity debt while ordinary citizens face strict penalties for unpaid bills. "People are owing ₦4 billion for electricity and still dare to harass IKEDC staff? This is unacceptable," one commenter wrote.
As public outcry continues to grow, authorities are yet to respond to the incident or clarify the military’s involvement. Many are calling for an investigation into the matter, demanding accountability from both the armed forces and the electricity company over the controversial disconnection.
