EKEDC Rip-Off: Ajeromi Ifelodun Residents Protest ‘Extortionate’ Electricity Bills (video)

The people of Ajeromi Ifelofun took to the streets today, 17th of February, 2025, to protest the recent hike in electricity bills, which they deem extortionate. The protest, which commenced at 10 am, was a peaceful one, with the conveners informing the Ajeromi police station about their plans beforehand.

At the heart of the protest lies a contentious issue: The Crazy Extortionate Inflated Electricity Bills alongside the introduction of ‘ a mysterious second bill, which has left residents baffled and infuriated. The new bill, which appears to be an arbitrary addition to the already inflated electricity costs, has sparked widespread suspicion of a rip-off.

The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), the distribution commission responsible for the area, needs to address these allegations and provide a clear explanation for the sudden increase in electricity bills and the mysterious second bill.

It’s worth noting that EKEDC has previously advised customers to adopt energy-saving practices to avoid high bills. However, the company needs to take a more proactive approach in addressing the concerns of the Ajeromi Ifelofun community and provide a more transparent and accountable billing system.
