PHCN IS KILLING PEOPLE IN BOLORUNPELU TOWN, IKOTUN, LAGOS, NIGERIA
I just want to complain about the wickedness of Power Holding Corporation Nigeria in Bolorunpelu Town Ikotun Lagos.
For over six months there has not being any electricity in that Town
The transformer there is dead, and PHCN refuse to do anything about it
They refuse to help us
We are suffering , we dont deserve this
We have complained to them several times, up to their manager
Still they refuse to fix the problem
People are getting sick and an old man died because of exhaustion.
Some people were recently burnt by generator
Businesses are closing because of no electricity
Criminals and area boys are now in control, because of the darkness
Girls are being raped everyday, and people are being robbed
Please help us
Kind Regards
Chukwu Nnana
Bolorunpelu Town, Ikotun, Lagos, Nigeria
