Despite knowing this Ayorinde Olajide a staff of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, IBEDC,was reportedly beaten to until his eyes bled by angry youth on Thursday for distributing electricity bills at Isale Igbeyin/ Grammar School axis of Abeokuta, Ogun State,Nigeria.
Mr Olajide says "I was busy distributing electricity bills to houses when I was attacked by a group of people asking me to stop the unnecessary distributing of bills, and before I could even explain to them they started throwing stones at me which affected my left eye''.
He was beaten and almost stoned to death but for the intervention of his boss who came and rescued him and took him to a nearby hospital where he is presently receiving medical attention.

Oga what exactly were you tryna explain?
ReplyDelete😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
DeleteThey know how to distribute electricity bills.....even if its a shack,dey know each corner,each house,street by street.
But if its to distribute food now or relief materials dey dont know how to distribute that one.
Everything na audio with our government
ReplyDeleteBut the discos made it clear that the FG was owing them from their previous agreement. Until that is sorted out, there is nothing like now paying of bills for 2 months’. Na wa o, so they wanted to kill someone’s father. That’s not fair at all.
DeleteThere's too much ignorance in Nigeria.
DeleteFirstly, the so called "NEPA" has since been privatized. The DISCOs are people's business too.
Secondly, if you refuse to pay the bill, how will the staff of the DISCOs be paid salary?
Thirdly, if you think you don't deserve the bill ask them to disconnect you so you stay in peace. Many people have done it before. You can't use the power and refuse to pay because of lockdown. It's like eating in a restaurant and refusing to pay because of lockdown. Can you go to the market and collect an item without paying?
Ignorance is a very serious illness. Some folks here are even happy the man was beaten. What a people. I pity us
You when nor dey ignorant so Abeg tell me how daily earning individual go take pay his/her estimated bill for this lockdown period?,Abi u feel say lockdown Na play abi,Na person when work go Chop and pay bills,so until the lockdown end,make power companies forget about bills,that is the price of lockdown.
DeleteNigerians are not smiling at all, but this guy should have known that it's his Safety first.... You first according to first bank.
ReplyDeleteThey'd have given him his cut, thats why he took the risk and went, them no beat am well
DeleteBill for lockdown without light?
ReplyDeleteThey no beat am well.
I'm really sorry to say that I burst into laughter after reading this....😂😂😂. Oga NEPA, sorry oh.
DeleteThey no beat am well abi？
DeleteThese bunch of easy idiots will hear from the Switch Controllers, you don't kill a man on duty,why not seize the bills,tear them or carry the entire folder from him.
That was a narrow escape,enjoy your darkness in the coming days.
This is wickedness. He was only doing his job.
ReplyDeleteThose miscreants should be arrested.
By the way, who told them that Government paid two months electricity bills for Nigerians?
We still dey pay NEPA for here.
Very wicked beings. Nepa should retaliate by not giving them light for a month.
DeleteThat employer wants him dead. They say a hungry man is an angry man, you know how many hungry & angry men are out there?? Where'd you expect them to get money to pay light bills? When feeding is even a problem.... Your Oga sent you out to the wolves & you agreed, that was a suicide mission.
DeleteI just paid our light bill for this month yesterday. They shouldn't have attacked the poor guy. I can't stand any form of violence.
DeleteBold,Brave and Cool.(BBC) and Castle Windor i can see both of you are making money from this present government for both of you to comment such undesirable comments people are lockdown complaining of hunger NEPA is disturbing electricity bill where will they get the money to pay don't you know some people make their money from daily hustle.
DeleteBold please help me ask, whoever told them that FG was sorting out electricity bills. Where and when?
DeleteCastle Windsor, yes! I agree with you.
DeleteMacBeth, they should have just refused the bill and and not try to kill him. He's human, he has a family who depend on him.
Black diamond, exactly.
Anonymous 20:32, so, because they don't have money gave them the right to commit murder? They almost killed a harmless man. Do you know what it means to be stoned? They almost stone him to death. What was his crime? And you blame it on hunger and lack of money? How about ignoring him and refuse to take the bill? How about that?
The white enchantress, I wonder.
Delete20.32 animalistic behaviour, that is what you are defending. Shame!
DeleteI no wan laugh abeg 😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteBut you dey laugh🙄🙄
DeleteAbeg me i go laugh 😂😂😂.
DeleteEvil errand, and he went.
Hahahahha naija blood dey hot,people are hungry, n u want them to pay nepa bill,OK na
ReplyDeleteNigerians are finally waking up! Wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteThey won't bring light,offense number one,I thought they were told to not charge or collect bills for three months?Why are they being dumband wicked? Why aren't they considerate enough to wonder where people will get money for nepa bill in this lock down?
The beating was a good one!kudos to the lovelies that carried out the act.
I'm highly disappointed in you.
DeleteCastle Nwa Windsor hapu ifea.
DeleteE bi like say you dey get light.
We no get light. Why the bill.
You should be more disappointed in yourself and everyone around you.
Delete*Offence*
DeleteThis is the same chisom that will be quoting bible verse o. Na wa!!
Delete@Lily Ambrose, Thanks darling❤️.
Deletewe have been having a stable light supply this part of naija. So he should turn himself into electricity for their houses? Let to me, they wont have light for 3 months
DeleteNo light for that community for the next decade.
ReplyDeleteAswear. They will beg and get tired of begging.
DeleteEeyah! Poor fellow on the receiving end.
ReplyDeleteThey brought bill for us few days ago, I asked them this same question Stella and they reply was that I should take the bill or call the federal government
ReplyDeleteHahahaha @call the federal government.
DeleteCall the federal government 😂😂😂😂
DeleteHave you called the federal government to send money for you to settle the electricity bill??
DeleteThe two months bill relief announcement was for commercial areas and not residential.
Believe Nigeria government officials at your own perils.
Such insensitivity!
ReplyDeleteDear Sir, sorry o. I can't even laugh. They didn't beat you well. You have the guts to share bills for this nonsense light you people are giving us in this Abeokuta. You were very lucky. Stupid fellows that have decided not to allow us rest at home this hot lockdown period. You have refused to easily give out prepaid meters so that people can pay for what they are using. Sharing estimated bills like crazy people. Sorry Oga. I sympathise with you.
ReplyDeleteGood for him
ReplyDeleteBuhahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteSorry but I have to laugh this shit is funny AF
This is so wrong..He is just doing his job now..
ReplyDeletePhoenix dear, which job exactly? I have not used NEPA since January oooo.
DeleteExactly, very wrong 👎👎👎
DeleteAll shades of wrong.
DeleteThey didn't pity him. Everyone seems to overly angry with this government.
ReplyDeleteStella they didn't pay anything, at least in my area. They brought bill last week. Lai Mohammed government.
Of course, FG never made a broadcast that they will cover such. It was Nigérians trying their luck by putting such info out there. I use prepaid and have been subscribing.
DeleteFG that is finding it difficult to feed the same people they tax anyhow, they will now pay electricity bills for you. Maybe we are referring to another FG but not this current one.
Why are we like this?
ReplyDeleteWhich Government paid for free electricity? Nothing like that biko. It was mere propaganda.
They have been saying that it's all false. Initially they said they will consult on modalities.
After they said maybe NNPC should offset the bill only for it to end in dead end. Negotiation has even stopped.
We should know electricity has been privatised in Nigeria so how do we get it free?
I live in Lagos and was equally looking forward to this gesture.
Infact I serviced all the A/C in my house to put all on during this period. Only to hear free light is not possible. So why attack innocent workers for doing their job?
This is not fair at all.
God bless you.
DeleteStop defending nonsense. Even Ghana there has free electricity.
DeleteCountries that are not giving free electricity are giving money.
What did nigeria do. Give one kolo of rice and one bread for a family.
Thank you O
DeleteMr Olajide you lie!!!! You must have said something to anger them! NEPA people and Nigeria nurse are the rudest set of people in the world!
ReplyDeleteYouth are not smiling o
ReplyDeleteI had a good laugh...Pele ooo
ReplyDeleteWe all know that there is hunger in the land but why attack the poor man
ReplyDeleteHe must have said something to get them pissed. NEPA and pride 5&6
ReplyDeleteWhy working since dere is lockdown
ReplyDeleteHe was beaten blue black 😀😀😀😀
ReplyDeleteHope he can still see with that eye, chaai.
ReplyDeleteTo think we paid 3k today when they came to disconnect our light today in Minna.
ReplyDeleteSo these people are still distributing bills... Nawa for this our country
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣who goes to share bill this period???boys are waiting for them 😂 ❤
ReplyDeleteIt might look subtle. The revolution has begun. I hope angry Nigerians channel the anger to the wack leaders and their personal infrastructures.
ReplyDelete■Lape.
