The youths who were in large number after deliberation with elders of the community decided to match to the head office of Kaduna Electric Company ( KAEDCO) to complain about what they described as discriminatory power supply to their area by officials of Kaduna Electric responsible for power supply to the area.
They explained that many small business owners and artisan in the area have suffered from this action of the distribution and life have become unbearable to many residents considering the hot weather in Sokoto.
