In 2011, Nigeria’s erratic power supplier, the PHCN, jacked up its tariff from N8 to N40 for each kilowatt consumed. Nigerians barely grumbled as the PHCN had its ways.
But in Sri Lanka, a man has suffered a fatal heart attack after being presented with a shocking electricity bill, a media report said Saturday.
The 61-year-old victim had protested at the Ceylon Electricity Board in Colombo Friday that his bill had suddenly spiked, the Ceylon Today newspaper said.
It said the man was told that the bill was due to a hefty tariff increase from last month and suffered a heart attack on the news, collapsing at the electricity board headquarters.
