The Eko Electricity Distribution Company Plc (EKEDCP) says it has launched “Operation Name and Shame’’ in its continued fight against energy theft within its area of operations.
Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr Oladele Amoda, said in a statement in Lagos, on Saturday that the company would publish names and addresses of customers who engaged in illegal connection or reconnection in both conventional and social media.
This, he said, would be in addition to handing over such culprits caught in the act to law enforcement agencies for possible prosecution.
Amoda said that apart from depriving the company of revenue due to it, energy theft was also an act of economic sabotage capable of derailing the desired total transformation in the energy sector.
“If we all desire good electricity supply services, we must also be ready to play our part in sanitising electricity supply system and environment in order to rid it of unwholesome practices, “Amoda said. (NAN)
