Lagos electrocuted footballer: IKEDC, family disagree over N50m compensation - Daily Post Nigeria

belonging to the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company in Ejigbo area of Lagos State returned home dejected after meeting with the company as both parties could not reach an agreement over the proposed N50 million compensation.

Their grouse was that IKEDC seem to be recanting its pledge to compensate the children and wife of the victim. DAILY POST reported that the electricity distribution company had earlier promised to pay N250,000 for the burial of the deceases which the family accepted but rejected the N1.5million offer as compensation for the upkeep of the children.

The company had told the family to re-present its requested compensation having rejected the N1.5million offered by the company.The chairman of the Community Development Committee, Ejigbo, Comrade Jelili Atiku led the family’s team while Engr. Obasanya led the IKEDC team.Replying, the family said it proposed N50 million to be set up as annuity for the education of the children to the highest level possible and not necessarily as immediate cash.

The CDC chairman replied that the amount would be inadequate to cater for the education of the children left behind and encouraged the company to come up with a more considerate offer.Sensing that the meeting was moving towards a deadlock, Comrade Atiku reduced the demand from N50 million to N25 million and repeated that the company could set it up as annuity for the children to draw from as they grow older.
