A Lagos-based rights group, Social and Economic Action Centre, has sued the Ikeja Distribution Company Plc and others for the epileptic supply of electricity to its office and its environs in Omole Phase II, Isheri area of Lagos.
SERAC, through its suit filed on November 4, 2013 before a Lagos High Court in Ikeja, is seeking an order, directing the company and the Nigerian Electricity Liability Management Ltd to pay to it N10m as general damages and N3.371m as special damages.
The group sued the Ikeja Distribution Company and the Nigerian Electricity Liability Management, along with the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission as the defendants in the suit.
NELMCO is the corporate body created by law in the course of the “unbundling” of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria to manage certain assets and liabilities of the PHCN.
SERAC claimed that the PHCN and its successor, the Ikeja Distribution Company, which took over “the sole generation and distribution of power” in Ikeja Distribution Zone of Lagos, wrongly billed it N3,877,190 between January 2012 and September 2013.
