A retired army general who allegedly pulled a gun and threatened to shoot some staff of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) would be prosecuted for assault and attempted murder. The company’s spokesman, Godwin Idemudia, told newsmen in Lagos on Sunday that the retired general, on May 24, allegedly forced EKEDC staff who disconnected electricity supply to reconnect power to his Ikoyi, Lagos residence, at gunpoint. Idemudia said EKEDC officials had disconnected power supply to the general, a one-time chairman of Military Pensions Board, over the unpaid electricity bill. He said that power supply to the house was subsequently disconnected. We have everything on video and we will pursue this to its logical conclusion,” the EKEDC spokesman said.
