I reside in onitsha and operate a cold room business with ice block making machines..on the 4th of April 2018,EEDC officials came on a routine visit to our transformer which also houses our MD prepaid meter, as usual we gave them the key.they came back to the office alleging the meter was bypassed,pls bear in mind we were not notified of the reason for their visit hence they went to the meter unescorted by any of our staff.they dropped a paper requesting we go to Enugu to EEDC office room 217. On my way to Enugu the next day, I was informed EEDC officials came and disconnected our business without warning and the outcome of my visit to Enugu was a bill of 37 million eight hundred thousand naira which they say is a penalty we must pay for loss of revenue. Thought it was a joke at first but till today EEDC has refused to reconnect us after we have protested, written, visited their office.i met one chinenyem Okafor at EEDC Enugu who told me bluntly we rather close or pay the bill.

Good evening sir.AS If this is true, it is outrageous!! But the facts need to be established first. As an MD customer, do you have almost 24 hours supply? Have your bills remained consistent since you were connected to supply or they have reduced? If your billing has been on the decline despite near-constant power supply, there may be cause for suspicion. But if your billing has been consistent, then you are being set up for a shakedown. We need to review your bills to form an opinion on the merits of your situation. If you can, send copies of all bills (in PDF format) from the time your account was opened till date to [email protected] (copy to [email protected]). We will revert to you thereafter.
