KEDC condemns unwarranted assault on its staff & customers by Soldiers in Birnin Kebbi
The management of Kaduna Electric Distribution Company, KEDC, have condemned in strong terms the molestation of their staff by men of the Nigerian Army in Birnin Kebbi.
The armed soldiers invaded KEDC premises Saturday afternoon and unleashed mayhem on unsuspecting staff and customers alike.
The hapless victims were beaten and subjected to humiliating treatment by the marauding soldiers for no reason whatsoever.
Reacting to the incident on behalf of the management, Abdulazeez Abdullahi Head, Corporate Communication in a statement on Sunday the incident as “brazen act of impunity that has no place in the civilised society we live in.
“Their action is all the more nauseating considering the fact that the military men have never lodged any complaint regarding our services or over any perceived grievance they may have had.
“In fact, several attempts by our Management team in Kebbi State requesting meetings where issues of interest were to be discussed were rebuffed”.
