Ikeja Electric Invasion: Nigerian military threatening me – Discos’ spokesperson Oduntan

The Executive Director of the Association of Electricity Distributors, ANED, and spokesperson for 11 Nigerian DisCos, Sunday Oduntan, has raised an alarm over alleged threat to his life by the Nigerian military.

Oduntan made this known on Monday in an interview with TVC.

He was speaking on the recent invasion of Ikeja Electric by personnel of the Nigeria Air Force.

Recall that personnel of the Nigerian military were seen in close-circuit television video to have invaded Ikeja Electric on March 6, 2025.

In the video, military officers manhandled staff of the Disco over electricity disconnection.

Speaking on the invasion, Oduntan on Monday said about ten Ikeja Electric staff members were hospitalised after they were beaten up by the military personnel.

He called for the intervention of the National Security Adviser and the Nigerian government to avert anarchy.

“I was there on that day. You can see how they were beating staff of Ikeja Electric in the corridor.

“I am really scared. They are threatening me as a person. This is why I say in a civil society, unless the political class does something about this military, if you think there cannot be military intervention in this country, you are joking,” Oduntan said.
