Removal of transformer fuses

Published by

IT has become the practice of some officials of the electricity distribution companies to remove the fuses of transformers at the slightest provocation.

The officials of the Discos have always inflicted untold hardships on the generality of the people by removing the fuses of transformers, thereby putting communities in darkness.
In their show of authority, they deliberately inflict untold hardship on operators of small businesses whose enterprises cannot thrive without electricity.

Artisans such as hairdressers, welders and others whose works depend on electricity and who are oblivious of the incidents that culminated in the decision of the officials of the distribution companies are now being made to pay for the sins of others.
Why on earth will the officials of the Discos not take legal action against whoever obstructs them in the course of their duties?
Why mete out punishment to sachet water vendors who have no idea about what transpired between them and their customers?
What justifications do the officials have to disconnect those who have paid their bills because some people quarrelled with them?

It is high time the Discos called their officials to order. Cutting off the head is definitely not the antidote to headache.
Residents of many areas in Ibadan, Oyo State, are already boiling with anger on hearing why there is no power supply.
The officials should retrace their steps for the purpose of peace and justice.
It is legally wrong and morally unacceptable to punish Peter for the sin of Paul.
