A group, the All Electricity Consumers Protection Forum (AECPF), filed the suit dated July 12, before an Ikeja High Court. A copy of the suit was obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Lagos. The group claimed both DisCos failed to comply with the capping Order NO/NERC/197/2020 for a period of 10 months from February 2020 to November 2020 to the consumers affected by the capping Order. The claimant asked the court to determine whether it was within the power of DisCos to disobey the directives of NERC pursuant to section 63(1) of Electric Power Section reform Act 2005. The claimant further asked the court to direct the defendants to pay the sum of N500, 000 for the cost of the suit.
