Senator Decries Destruction Of Electricity Facilities
Senator Danjuma Laar (APC–Kaduna South) has strongly criticised the recent attack on and subsequent destruction of electricity facilities, property of Kaduna Electric, in Kafanchan.
The destruction was carried out by some irate youths some three weeks ago.
The Senator expressed the outrage when he led a delegation of traditional, religious and youth leaders to pay a sympathy visit to the corporate headquarters of the company in Kaduna.
According to the lawmaker, the attack was irresponsible and senseless and a destruction of critical national assets pledging to offset 40 per cent of the cost of the damaged items.
He charged the communities, especially the youth, “to desist from taking laws into their hands as this will only make a bad situation worse”.
He appealed to the Management of Kaduna Electric to ensure restoration of normal power supply to the area.
He also promised to mobilise all elected and political leaders in the area to pay restitution to the company for the items lost.
