NAF Personnel Invaded Our Office, Flogged Staff, Looted Gadgets – IKEDC

The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) has confirmed that over a dozen personnel from the Nigerian Air Force base at Sam Ethnan Barracks, Ikeja, stormed its office on Thursday morning, assaulting staff and vandalizing property.

Speaking to News360 Nigeria, IKEDC spokesperson Kingsley Okotie revealed that the military personnel arrived at the office with a truck around 8 a.m. and began flogging employees.

“They came in with their truck, beating our staff. They even took my laptop, and now most staff can’t find their phones since they left,” Okotie said.

Explaining the reason for the invasion, he stated that the military base had been disconnected from electricity 10 days ago due to an outstanding debt of over N4 billion.

“They molested and assaulted our staff. They went away with about 16 of our vehicles, forcing our drivers to move them. They destroyed all our offices, stole laptops and phones, and damaged our IT infrastructure, even disabling all our CCTV cameras,” he added.

As of the time of this report, there has been no official response from the Nigerian Air Force regarding the allegations.
