The Chief Executive Offi cer, Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), Ikeja Zone, Chris Akamnonu has said that consumers are owing the organisation N12 billion.
Akamnonu who spoke in Lagos at the weekend enjoined the defaulters to settle their bills to enable the organisation serve them better and avoid unpleasant consequences of refusing to pay debt.
The chief executive also threatened to sanction customers that by-pass prepaid metres within the area.
Akamnonu said the warning became necessary following discovery of some sharp practises associated with the installation of prepaid metres in the area.
He said that plans were on-going in the unit to fi sh out consumers who had bypassed the pre-paid metres, adding that consumers found guilty of the offence would be made to face the law. ‘We will not hesitate to sanction and prosecute anybody found involved in such act. Some customers are in the habit of by-passing pre-paid metres to avoid paying their bills,’’ he said.
