The building housing Lagos Magistrate Court in Ikeja has been disconnected over a debt of N1.9m.<\/p>\n
According to sources, who spoke with PUNCH, this is the second time the institution had been taken off the electricity grid this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have their own dedicated transformer with a meter and it is whatever we read from the meter that we use to bill them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey owe about N1.9m. They owed for the months of August and September and they quickly paid for September bill. That was after they were disconnected,\u201d an official of Ikeja Electricity Distribution said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have not paid for October and November bills and we have to disconnect them again. They are not supposed to owe at all because they are maximal customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is embarrassing that an institution like court was disconnected on the account of not paying electricity bills.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe court has been disconnected since Tuesday and I have no idea when it will be reconnected.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
