Ikeja Electric (IE) has reacted to the recent Papers News report on the prolonged power blackout in Isokan Phase I & II, Ayobo, Lagos, with its spokesperson, Fadeke Olaniyi, offering fresh insight into the cause of the outage amid allegations of corporate neglect.
Olaniyi claimed that the community’s transformer had failed twice, attributing both breakdowns to unauthorised interference by local individuals.
She added that IE had engaged community leaders, urging them to halt interference, citing the detrimental impact on the company’s infrastructure, revenue, and the broader community economy.
