According to the Delta Central lawmaker, the warning became necessary as some fraudsters were already swindling unsuspecting constituents to pay for transformers in their areas, dropping his name.
A press statement signed by Omo-Agege’s media adviser, Yomi Odunuga, on Sunday, cautioned those engaged in the fraudulent act to desist forthwith or face the wrath of the law. “It has come to the attention of the Office of the Deputy President of the Senate, His Excellency, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, that some persons are compelling or tricking his constituents across some communities to pay various sums of monies or levies for electricity transformers installed in these communities by the Federal Government as a result of the purposeful intervention of the DSP. This is wrong, fraudulent, and totally unacceptable.
“Therefore, we implore our people not to pay any money whatsoever to anybody in respect of these transformers installed for their benefit. Your DSP understands that you need electricity for your homes and business hence his continuing strong intervention in this regard. Every transformer is installed at no cost to our people. They are free.
After saying 'don't pay,' that community stays without lift for years, while you people enjoy constant light in Asokoro and other high places.
