Residents of Magodo GRA Phase 1, comprising MD Avoseh, Zone C, and Oremeta, besieged the head office of the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) on Tuesday to demand an immediate end to a seven-day power outage in the area.

The protesting residents who barricaded the entrance to the IKEDC office located at Alausa, Ikeja, around 9 am with placards and other insignia bemoaned the executives of the power distribution for their insensitive and deliberate acts to deny residents of the area constant electricity as stipulated by law.

In a notice of legal action delivered by counsel to the residents, James Babatunde Alara, the association chided IKEDC for failing to honour several collective decisions made with the association to improve power supply to the estate and acting in bad faith.
