Policeman allegedly breaks electricity worker’s leg for disconnecting ex-IG’s house

A worker with the Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Dele Ogundele, has been hospitalised after he was allegedly brutalised by a police sergeant attached to a house reportedly owned by a former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar.

The mobile policeman, Attah Aninoko, on Thursday dragged down Ogundele from an electric pole opposite the house and beat him up for disconnecting power to the house of the former IG.

Ogundele’s leg was allegedly broken by the sergeant, who was reported to have boasted that “nothing will happen.”

The matter was said to have been reported to the police at the Ikoyi division and the sergeant was arrested.

The Head of Corporate Communications Department, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), Mr. Godwin Idemudia, who confirmed the incident, said the sergeant had been detained.
