Sir,

Fraud Alert about PHCN Officials

It has come to the knowlege of the Kano state residents living in Sabon Gari that electricity is only distributed to people who pay PHCN officials specially for it. Electricity is not given at all in days to most parts of Sabon gari including new road, yoruba road, niger road, ibadan road, aiteken road, emir road etc, while places like weatherhead and environs and some other parts of town get constant electricity everyday. This is caused by a detestable action of corruption by top PHCN officials who will not perform their duties of providing electricity unless given bribe. These PHCN officials collect a monthly sum of money from residents of these areas in order to provide them with constant electricity. People of sabon gari are saying enough is enough as this could lead to a rally thereby creating tension in the state. We know that top PHCN officials are involved in this barbaric act of sabotaging a whole lot for the benefit of few, and we call on PHCN to do the right thing and ensure that the little power being generated in the country is being distributed equitably. Please do the right thing and let this country have some progress, electricity is a very essential requirement of improved living. We also call on the press and EFCC to conduct more investigations on this issue because this is a countrywide corruption, so that the culprits will be exposed and disgraced. Thank You.

Godwin.
