A retired Army General (name withheld) armed with a pistol and a machete, Thursday, threatened to shoot and maim employees of Ikeja Electric (IE) Plc., who visited his residence on Fatai Animashaun Street, Magodo Estate, Lagos in the course of their routine duty.
The victims who are members of the Revenue Protection Team of IE were in the Estate to re-certify and seal prepaid meters.
The objective of the task is to prevent the tampering of meters and ultimately, energy theft.
However, the irate retired General who apparently misconstrued the intention of the team from IE, accosted members of the team, with his pistol and machete and in clear terms, threatened their lives
Despite their pleas and explanations by the team that they were on their routine duty, the customer was hell bent on maiming any of them that dared to enter his property.
A source who witnessed the scenario said this ugly experience depicts an unfortunate situation where people who should know and are expected to uphold the Law are the ones that are perpetrating and advocating mindless violence and lawlessness in our society.
Our correspondent could not reach Ikeja Electric spokesman to shed more light on the incident.
