How can we say we have democracy in this program? in a society where private companies operate private distribution networks are treating citizens without even giving them the opportunity for a fair hearing, Section 36 of the Constitution states that before You shall not punish anyone without giving the person the opportunity for a fair hearing. So where is the fair hearing in the allegations that sometimes their company staff engage in these practices and nobody challenges them They are not investigated. If the Inspector General of Police establishes anti-electricity crime units I will investigate these matters, yes, and track down those individuals. Who's doing this? It's like vandalism. Who investigates vandalism? The company will tell you that there is vandalism. Why is it okay? They will tell you that the transmission tower has been destroyed. Who has been punished? Who has been imprisoned? For transmission towers that are destroyed Who has been punished for vandalism? Rightfully, we should know the people who have been caught. Investigated And they are found guilty and imprisoned. Or given fine But each time the government provides money Transmission tower has been Money is provided to repair Who did it? The police need to start investigating these issues. That's why I'm calling the police, that's why I'm calling. to the police to set up anti-electricity Crime units, many times the distribution company will tell you people How much are they owing? How are they owing? Why would you give people a bill without going through? The process approved by the law, yes, such. Such companies should be punished. and the unfortunate thing is that we have a legislature and the legislature will always claim they have conducted an investigation them. At the end of the day Who is punished? You will not hear. anyone who is punished. There is penalties and offenses segment of the Electricity Act. Section 217 is on false declaration How can a company declare that I owe them One million naira when actually I only get light three days a week. In a month I didn't get light for up to 10 days, and then you are giving me millions to pay as a consumer and you must bill the people individually, yes, do enumeration You see, in the end, they won't do it. the citizens suffer in some places now they use To go and collect money without giving anything in return Receipts even without giving a bill, you go to people and tell them to pay you money And you didn't give them a bill, yet you go collect the money. no receipt bearing the name Of the company you use POS, you go disconnect people, no disconnection. Notice you just went and disconnected them all These are criminal activities, but when you look at it They'll say it's a regulatory issue, yes. The regulator will say it's a regulatory matter, yes, they make it look As if, because the regulator is present, crime is concealed beneath regulation. but then the challenge Now, why is it that the regulator finds it difficult to enforce the laws they have made look in Akwa Ibom State last year, in fact this year 54 million wiped away for the record people but You know those who don't have lighting today or meanwhile yes up to today meanwhile the regulator The House of Representatives has ruled on it and has looked into it. but enforcing that decision is a problem in Imo State the regulator As I have said several times here, they have ruled the company refuses. to enforce where the regulator, um, issues directives and order, and the regulator fails To comply, they will say, "Go to court," won't they? The court, well, how long will it take the consumer? who is unlawfully disconnected to go and conclude the court case in court before he arrives and the The regulation states that if the matter is in dispute, you should Do not disconnect; rather, collect the previous Money until the dispute is resolved, yes. but the distribution companies do not comply, so when will We begin to enforce laws in the power sector. This is why all the loans the government gave them they are not paying back if you ask now The money the distribution companies owe them is going to be paid. The federal government is in billions. And their mass metering program—how many people were there? got the meters some distribution companies sold them We are selling the meter, yes, this red meter is on now how many people are getting yet nobody is Under investigation, nobody is being called in for questioning. These are the issues that made me call. To combat electricity theft, it is necessary to strengthen the sector. The more efficient it will be, the better it will protect consumers. and it will eliminate criminal elements that are operating within the disco environment, okay, thank you God said, uh, I guess the airport, the fight inside our Fight if you know, go suffer, waste panel, like God No, go let you suffer, waste pain, the good work way. They do, they go, they do, and you know, say God, where they support you. where they back you, they will Keep backing you, I know, I'll say very soon, we will soon meet with you. because waiting any do Nigerians are not good; another angle, permit me to say This is another angle—do you know that the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency Section 178M of the Electric Act 2023 states that the only people who can carry out electrical installation are those who are qualified and Certified by NEMSA, NEMSA should issue them a competency certificate. for installers, yes, but in The most buildings today that have installations are not certified by NEMSA. which is also a crime because When work packs are installed, they use fake materials, yes, they don't obey. the codes and the standards That is why, when the breeze blows now, the light will go out. That's why you see any little thing electrified. You see electrocution. You see an electrical accident. Because nobody is actually focusing on the wrong things that are carried out in the sector. The sector is treated as though none. No, no, no. And you can see that corruption is rampant in the sector. You now see that it is the agencies that should hold them accountable. I don't know whether it's corruption causing it or what. Otherwise, if there is no corruption, that means all this extortion committed against consumers is used to settle those who should fight crime. And that is why you don't hear the crime talked about. We don't So the Inspector General of Police The Commandant General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps I keep asking They say the Civil Defense Corps is there. to protect critical assets and infrastructure Who owns the infrastructure? Is it the transformer that consumers use their money to buy? That you forcibly take from them And give this disco the freedom to do its business Without refunding those who purchased it Are you now saying you're protecting it? That civil defense is joining forcefully Take over people's transformers Isn't that a crime? why will you take my transformer that I use for my money to buy, use it to conduct your business You didn't refund me, and then the government says civil defense should be protecting It, are you protecting it for me? or are you protecting it for the person that bought it, and this is why you see Many people go and buy refurbished. transformer, because the distribution The company is not willing to buy. and even those who attempt to buy There is no enlightenment. There is a third-party investment policy. This third-party investment policy It tells you that before you invest If you're not a disco You sign an agreement with them. So that you can recover your money But they don't talk about it No enlightenment What is the Ministry of Power doing? And then the reason for calling for this Electricity Crime Unit Is that given the current state of the electricity markets? There will be too much trouble. Because the regulators are closed to the home The distribution companies are close to the people there. There will be serious problems. If this is not checkmate, Look at the few cases we have handled. Look at the community. You didn't give them a transformer; they bought their own transformer. And then you forcibly put them on ban, without obeying the law And they are not banned. And no meter on the transformer. You disregard the law. You are breaking the law. And then you're being looked at as if you're doing the right thing. And no one реализацирует их协会. There will come a point when it will reach. This will lead to a serious crisis. In this country, if nothing is done. When Nigeria fights back, it will shock them. Hey, welcome to the studio. Thank you. You carried cry come yesterday. Say, Abuja Discos. Then say you commit wireless bypass. Abel, if you explain to us while waiting, speak loudly, softly. Wake our people here you go. Wait, then say: How did you commit that crime? You know, you see, say two of us We drink tea; we never serve you tea first; we won't make you speak. so that when you come next time, bring your own cup and tell us how because I know you say See the verse, but when you come down, don't say "we go." to the office yesterday with you, but how Then take waiting and say you do how The crime takes up waiting up, how I bet, tell Nigerians they One year, thank you very much. Uh, I will speak. in a way Nigerians would understand that That said, the program. Breaking down. They waited. Sometimes two years ago, They met in their backyard. And the officials come, They said they cannot get access. Officials of which place? Of Nepal. Which Nepal? EDC Abuja Electricity Distributor Yes, Abuja. They come, say, Because they don't know the greeting required to gain access. Say they go to relocate them, Come where they fit into the city and meet them. And say good and well. That day, I was alone, walking for miles, Kari an go put for the front of my house, where dem go de siam. I installed the meter today. Just fix everything, use seal, seal the meter. OK. Others, they go check the meter. For those two years, nobody told me anything. I am recharging my meter, using my light. Not until early this month, October 2026. OK. Some people come, saying they want to see the meter. The door is open for them. They come inside. One of them is a clamp. If they don't enter the gate, they aren't fishy arms. They say they want to see their meter. So they tell me. So I have to open the gate for them. They committed a burglary. They come inside. None of them is clamped. Start losing the meter. I stand. I don't want to tell them anything. I didn't ask them anything. See nothing there, see nothing there. They're breaking the seal. They break the seal. They break the seal. Open the meter. One of them found, for instance, that I do bypass. I'll ask and say it before they check it already. Check, no wire is connected from the pole to my meter. No wire is connected to its own wire. They say, as he opens, I say, I bypass. Now, I ask and say, is there anything like a wireless bypass? Okay. Now then, the man says, no. When I, when they finish, say, me, I go, no. Okay. They finish, he closes the meter back, the worker goes. After the unit finishes, I say, let me recharge the one they recharge online. They take my money, they don't give me a token. I call the bank when they use recharge. Say Wei Ting, if we don't collect my money, we won't give me the token. They say they can't afford it. Say I go AEDC, Abuja Yes I'm going to AEDC Then I rush to go to the office For paper branch For paper branch Yes When I get to the office, the way they speak to me—how they talk to me, even the way they talk— It's as if they don't know how to speak to their customers. Don't worry about them. They just talk, talk to me, they walk out, they come out. I'm calling the man, saying, "Oga, come, explain to me." He said, "Can I go to customer care?" I go to customer care, and then they write a paper. For one sheet of paper, give me. Say I go pay 110,000. That one I completed, 110,000. Then 518,189,189 Naira, 89 kobo. Then go put that one inside my meter. I go to pay a small, small amount. Then I tell them, say me I don't understand. When I wait, I go see their madam. Their mistress says, make them call the people. If I see the people I need, I say yes. Then they come to call the people. As I see, they say yes, now these people. They say I do, say, They say, polarity swap. I know I can be an electrician. Polarity reversal? Swap So they talk. The madam says I don't even know. Madam says, okay, explain to me what that thing is. And then they come to explain to madam saying, Why are we supposed to go for the lights? And then they carry out for neutral. Carry the one we day for neutral, put for lights. To? Tell me a go pay file. I'll pay the money. I say, let me install the meter. On a staff, install the meter So I go come pay for a staff mistake I came back the way the lady said. Madam, use your good office Look into this thing Madam says, you won't get anything when you go do it. Say you don't get anything when you go do I'll pay the money. I came home. Come, cry out to my wife, say What are we going to do? I'll just send someone to say 628,189 Naira 89 Kobo. So, Namanue, calculate it for me for 2 years. Say, you run the bypass. And you recharge your meter. And the thing go. And some of their staff aren't able to read the meter. Then they control the meter. Nobody explains it to me. That's why they ask and say, Is there anything like a wireless bypass? So, it tired me. When I got home, I wanted to cry, I wanted to give it to my wife. My wife came and told me, "Okay, let me call somebody." So, they come to give me the number of double chiefs. So, I cry, I carry cries, run for me, time. When he looked into my case, he said no. Say, I know that if you pay for a crime committed by someone else. He asked me to say that I am an electrician. I'm saying I know if you know anything about electricity. I say, since when did they install the meter? And I get there, and then they say, "Break the seal." for the meter before they open the meter, and so it takes half. Even that meter, they don't allow me that meter. For three years I haven't used the lights. Then they pile up my bill before they bring the meter. Then they pile up my bill. After they bring the meter, They carry about seventy thousand something inside the meter. When they pay, I'll know if you know anything about electricity. consume for three years and no use light why to make you no use light for three years they they build within the proof for me that time that time you made too big a deal about four thousand plus when we Now there are only two bulbs; now they use, I don't get anything for the house, two bulbs. and one small Television, you go tell them I write. Tell them to disconnect my light, they disconnected it. Shifat they light, Shifat they open, I'll go write the email and suspend my bill. They accept stamps; give me the paper. So where do the seventy-five thousand come from? They still bring the bill. They start the market away in the area, they put the bill for a house. Even though you know, say, you know they get like... They still keep cutting the power because... They give you the bill, they give you the bill on the bill. Yes, that time I didn't pay for two months. About eight thousand plus, I didn't pay. Now they come to disconnect, I'm on my own. When I come to say I don't pay any fee, Now I'll go meet them and say, okay, just suspend my bill. They accept, stamp, give it to me. They still bring me, their staff they keep up for their house. After three years, they finally come to bring my meter, Come, carry the money, put it inside the meter. They make me; they pay. So, what happened yesterday, you wanted to go and... Okay, when we arrive at the Abuja office for the documents, I am the double chief, Come, give the lady the paper. Say my complimentary card. The woman, please say, in the way they treat other customers, He collected the paper. He didn't even look at the complimentary card. He doesn't even, First of all, he began hala me, Say na for me route, She goes there to attend to us. Is he going there to talk to her? Yes. Raba inside the office we de I just say chief, say Is this the lady? And we're inside the office So when she comes in and enters her own office Then we follow up She didn't even give us a seat. So she began the way The shout Like, say we be in boy Like, say we be in boy You don't even see us as customers. You don't see the chief red cap. You can't even see You don't even look at it. You're carrying the cat the wrong way. They need to do They need to do something about it. Because these electrician people, these EDC people, the people They're saying everywhere, they know gay manners, they'll come to your house. They go, had it been me I'd bypass, everybody knows say, They can't wait; they go shouting, neighbors rush to guard as if saying, "You stole!" Before they even cut your lights, carry your wire away. But this one, they don't cut my light, they only street me, they say, Since on Monday, and they are in darkness all day today. So, you see why the anti-electricity crime is necessary? Yes. Now, you saw, you're claiming that someone managed to bypass. Yes. No notice, no invitation, no formal document written To tell the person, this is what you have done. Nowhere do you say go here and defend yourself Yes Not only do you join, not only do you judge, not only do you accuse Then only you impose the penalty. Nobody That is why we have to go to the police to inform the police. A statement has been made at the police station. But one good thing is that the managing director EDC has been informed about this development. And I'm expecting that he should come into and ensure that this crime does not Because this is a criminal allegation How can you criminally accuse a consumer of bypassing? A meter bypass is an IT term that involves imprisonment. Fine, yes, if the person is found guilty, yes, now how Are they pursuing it? So what they pursue is to accuse you and collect money not to punish you properly according to the law, yes, so not them to Make it so that if they give them the target, produce five million. This month they will not go. people in that area and collect five hundred thousand from there—you've made up the money This is criminal extortion, honestly—it's criminal. extortion should not be condoned in this country at all, there's another thing Where me, I just want to talk about the way they handle theirs. The customer is not like that because When I read this small paper here now, they're harassing me with this small paper. Who is bothering me but when so Now the money Just make me pay this money Then give you account Where do you go to pay the money? Or they say I should bring cash I didn't ask them For that one Because the money Save some for me too You're confused I'm confused. Say which kind thing Come with this With this one Now which Banana Republic? We are for Nigeria so Now when I run To chief Who is coming? Print out paper Now I make them Print out paper Yes The paper when I show you Yes If you go So I saw my friend who had The entire body examined her leg and Said wife accepts it She did not consent. Because he was supposed to send us to give us the paper Even on the very day she claimed the notice, she didn't accept it! To let us know, make your defense And then go defend yourself But nothing like that And then they've kept him in darkness They will pay for it. This one is a lot. Since that day, when did this happen? On Monday Today is Saturday. So the family has been in the dark since Monday. And not that they are unwilling to pay He paid the money, but they rejected him. They collected the money. They've taken his money twice. No token So he paid, but cannot use the light. So, is this what Nigerians should be enduring? How many Nigerians are going through this? So, will the police be watching this happen? So, how are they enforcing the law? But you went to the police yesterday, right? Me and Chief go to police. He made a statement at Apappe Police Station. So, by Monday, he will follow up. But if they are empty, intervene. After they have collected the statement, They say they will invite them to come by Monday. Okay. So as soon as we know, if we resolve the problem before Monday, They'll go invite them, and they'll let me know. So they collect my phone number. Okay. Say them bye. WT, did you call the MD yesterday? Yes, I did. And he said he was going to look into it. I'm expecting that. But someone called you yesterday. That person hasn't called again. He called, and I told him my interest is that they should let us know. We must investigate this criminal allegation. They should not allege criminality against a citizen. An innocent person You just go to his house and claim that he has a bypass. And then nowhere, you don't even call the police If they are doing a legitimate thing The first thing to do is to call the police. and say that this person has committed a crime Then the police will not be there to investigate. Let them bring proof of how the crime was committed. Now what is the proof? Only that you are company staff. You are the one who broke the seal, you are the one You're the one who opened the knife, and you're the one who snapped the video. What were you snapping? And what was the condition of that thing before you snapped? What was the state of the meter before you snapped? So, they will not find the man guilty. because you went and did one video and brought it. So, why can't they subject themselves to a situation where they Will you explain the truth or otherwise regarding this very allegation? That is the issue here. And this is why police detectives need To be involved in this kind of thing. And we take this opportunity to call on consumers in Abuja. if you know consumers across the country if you have gone through this allegation of bypass and You're sure you didn't bypass? Please reach out. The more cases we have, the better it is for us. that the police will take this matter up and get these companies put on check, they must, they must Pay for surely they were begging yesterday that you should come back, that only this man should Come back, we say no, only this man will. Don't go there. Double Prince will follow it. It's just that Double Prince was very busy with other commitments yesterday. If not, we believe yesterday we will We have resolved it, but we still have to go to the police. Who is that person now? Who will be the person there? Connect that meter where the fixer meter is; we can't do that bypass there. and the allegations say This man, I beg Nigerians, any day When you see NEPA near your meter, carry your phone. Like this, no way before they do this trick on you Then they do trick, oh then go, do you wireless bypass?
