PHCN Staffs Discovers Buried Cable Used In Trapping Light From Transformer By Residents Underground

It’s very disheartening to see that certain persons’ prefers to tap light rather than pay for the power supply that they consume. In this day and hour when even those paying for power supply don’t even get it to use, some people chose to steal rather than go through the right channels and that appalling part for me, is the way and manner some Nigerians supports this kind of stealing going on.I came across this video that has gone viral showing some staff of Ikeja Electric Discos, dragging out a very long cable used in tapping light from transformer underground, the users I believe don’t pay for power supply but wants to be having uninterrupted power supply.What they have done is criminal and shouldn’t be condone, it’s even suicidal, just imagine the shallow depth of the cable and if it happens to have certain cuts and while it’s raining, some individuals are possibly passing by, gets electrocuted as a result of the greed of these residents who have perpetrated this act. This is a crime and shouldn’t be allowed to go away, the people involved should be severely dealt with, in other to serve as a deterrent to others who are considering doing something of this nature.I remember how some houses taps light from each other back then when I used to live in Mushin, as a light boy, I knew within me that, what is been done is wrong by these adults but really don’t have the power to stop or change their minds. This kind of criminality shouldn’t be allowed to go away or be swept under the carpet.The location of this sad event, is unknown as at the time of reporting this.
