Contrary to the news that went viral several social media over the weekend in Lagos that an Ikeja Electric (IE) Technical Staff (name with held) lost his life while on duty around our Ijegun Ikotun network area, the company has refuted the report.
In a terse statement sent to Business Hilights, IE averred “clearly that our employee did suffer electric shock while on duty but is alive, thankfully and responding to treatment”.
“We thank the general public for their concern and urge all news blogs to kindly update their news reports accordingly,” the electricity distribution company stated.
