Speaking during the protest, the chairman of the landlords association of the estate, Chief Peter Umeh, recalled that “For five to six years we have been denied power supply because few individuals, that were among those who sold the estate to us, refused to allow us to develop the land.

“They are four individuals in number and have taken us to different courts, all in a bid to continue to exploit us by taking control of the electrification of the place and we said no that they have sold the land to us and have no business with the electrification and development.

“They are not even indigenes of the community but have constantly been intimidating us, and today we decide to defy the sit-at-home order to protest the problems we are facing so that our governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Emeka Offor, and EEDC will come to our rescue.

Contributing, the Vice chairman, Chief Ejiofor Ezuruonye, regretted that four people could hold them to ransom, adding that, “I have two buildings here but no light and that is why tenants have refused to occupy the building. They have even sold some plots of land without the consent of the owners.”

Speaking, another resident identified as Mr. Batholomew Mba, said, “My plot and others’ plots were sold off. They don’t want us to develop our land but God will help us. Today is sit-at-home but we defy it to protest.

“When two of our members went to see them allow us to develop and electrify the area, they were asked to put their complaint in writing and signed which they did, and the people used it to sue us that we have agreed that they should electrify and develop the land which is false.”
