“A prepaid meter connected to No. 31 Oguta Road, Onitsha, was also bypassed. When discovered by the team of Task Force, one of the occupants of the building identified as Elizabeth Megafu resisted the team from disconnecting the building, threatening them with cutlass. It took the intervention of the Police to eventually carry out the disconnection”.
