A Lagos State High Court has awarded N1 million damages against Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDP) for disconnecting a consumer over unpaid bill accumulated by a previous occupant of a building.

Justice Ibidun Harrison described as unlawful EKEDC’s refusal to connect Mr. Sunday Babalola to electricity for a bill left unsettled by a former occupant of his building.

He said: “The defendant later asked that I pay N605, 000, when I explained that I was not the person who resided in the property when the bill was incurred. He urged the court to declare that the N605, 000 already collected from him by the defendant which was for electricity consumed in a different property was illegal, null and void.
