Frustrated residents of Love Estate in the Ikorodu-Elepe area of Lagos have vowed to stage a peaceful protest at the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) office in Ikeja on Monday, following a five-month blackout in their community.
The residents, who have been plunged into darkness since December 2024, say the prolonged power outage has disrupted their lives and exposed them to increased insecurity. They claim their businesses have suffered severe losses, and many are spending large sums on fuel to power generators.
