Power Surge Incident In Kuta Lga Of Niger State

By Usman Mohammed

My heart was heavy and bleeds as I share the pains and loneliness associated with this cloudy period of the good people of Kuta, Shiroro Local Government of Niger State over the sad and disheartening incident that claims eight precious souls so far and leave several people with several degrees of injuries as a result of power surge. It wasn't long ago that a similar sad incident happened in Maitumbi area of Bosso LGA, lives and properties worth millions of naira were lost.

The perambulating questions are; What causes this recurrent sad incidents which always leaves sour taste in the mouth? What is AEDC or PHCN is doing to prevent such sad incidents from reoccurring? How can we prevent in totality this power surge? Do AEDC in anyway pay compensation over the loss of lives and property?

My condolences goes to the families of the departed souls and the good people of Kuta town in Shiroro LGA over the loss of lives and I wishes the injured one's quick and speedy recovery.
