Mr Francis Idoko, an official of the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (DISCO), was on Friday beaten by residents of a building on Fish Pond St. Muwo Ojo, Lagos, for disconnecting their line.
According to The Guardian, the residents, who insisted that the official should reconnect them, after raining blows on him, also allegedly untied a dog, which attacked Idoko.
Mrs Afoke Oghenetaga, whose dog attacked the victim, said that the residents contributed in buying the metres.
“Many of us, few days ago recharged with as much as N6,000 to enable us enjoy the Christmas and the New Year holidays; only for us to be cut off by this man,’” Oghenetaga said.
According to her, the dog was not on chain and only acted in favour of the residents it was familiar with.
She said the dog attacked the only stranger among them, adding that that person happened to be Francis.
