Actor Saheed Muhammed aka Funky Mallam has decried dwindling electricity supply in his area, while recounting the story of a PHCN official who was “mistakenly “ burnt to death while carrying out his duty in the Alagomeji, Yaba area of Lagos where he resides.
In a video posted on Instagram, Funky Mallam stated that they haven’t had power for days and that nobody knows exactly what the problem is. He stated that the electricity tariff has been increased three times now, but the power supply has remained poor.
‘’Who is checkmating these guys? They keep telling us that when the tariff is being increased, light is going to be constant but it has never been constant. It is even becoming worse even with the tariff that has been increased. ” he asked
He argued that the power supply is supposed to have become even better as many people are now using pre-paid meters but that things are worsening instead.
He went on to share the sad story of how a PHCN official was ‘’roasted” to death while carrying out his duty.
‘’This guy in my area that happens to be a very popular guy in my area, Oluwole, This guy called his office to tell them that he and his team are about to work and then he climbed the pole. They turned off the light for him to start working. This boy climbed the pole, grabbed the cable and as he was working, somebody came and turned on the light and this was burnt seriously, smoke coming out from his nose, ear, eyes and everywhere. They roasted him. He fell from up TO down. This guy has dedicated his life working for PHCN and the PHCN guy came to say it was a mistake…somebody who called the office to say he is working..”put off the light because of my life and you say it was a mistake…that man is gone for good”
