A video making the round on Facebook shows residents jubilating and hailing soldiers for assaulting staff of the Kaduna Electric Distribution Company in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
According to reports the soldiers invaded the head office of the company on Saturday, April 29, 2023, over the ‘’disconnection” of electricity at Dukku Barracks in Birnin Kebbi and beat up customers and staff on duty.
Meanwhile, Abdulazeez Abdullahi, Head, of Corporate Communication, Kaduna Electric, condemned the incident in a statement on Sunday, saying the military never lodged any complaint regarding its services or any perceived grievances it might have had with the company before allegedly attacking its staff.
“We condemn in strong terms the molestation of our staff by men of the Nigerian Army in Birnin Kebbi. The armed soldiers invaded our premises Saturday afternoon and unleashed mayhem on unsuspecting staff and customers alike,” he stated.
“The hapless victims were beaten and subjected to humiliating treatment by the marauding soldiers for no reason whatsoever”
