Douglas said Benjamin, a staff of the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company and the Occupational Health and Safety Officer of the Association in PHED Beta II Area was attacked by electricity consumers while on official duty to check prepaid meters bypass at Diamond Estate, along Shell Location Road in Umuebule IV, Etche.
He explained that the incident occurred at the residence of a PHED customer with meter number 0124000344273.
Douglas said, “Due to the rampant cases of prepaid meter bypass customers in the system, our members do go about on meters’ checking.
“The woman offered him a stool to stand on to check the meter, while the process was going on, of course, to know if the meter was bypassed or not, he tapped on the code to check for bypass and told the woman that some lights were still on.”
