The Nigerian Air Force said Wednesday it had begun investigation into the assault of some distribution and transmission workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, at Ipesu-Ijesa and Ijesa town in Osun State, which had led to the disruption of electricity in the affected areas for many weeks.
As a first step towards appeasing the aggrieved workers, who have vowed not to restore power to the towns until the culprits were fished out and punished, the NAF has written a formal letter to the management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company with a strong promise to get to the root of the matter.
A copy of the letter dated March 19, 2013 with reference No. NAFIS/315/HQ, and signed by the Commandant of the Nigerian Air Force, Ipetu-Ijesa, Osun State, Air Commodore C. T. Gudi, was addressed to the Managing Director of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, Mr. B.M. Oyesiku.
A copy of the letter, which was obtained by Vanguard last night, acknowledged the report of the attack on the staff of the company by some NAF officers lodged by the company on March 12, 2013.
NAF said: “The institute has initiated investigation into the alleged brutality of our patrol team on your personnel and our findings and action taken will be duly communicated to you.”
