Not less than 15 residents of Victoria Garden City (VGC), Ajah, on Lekki-Epe Expressway are to be prosecuted for their alleged involvement in energy theft from Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC).  

EKEDC alleged that the 15 residents stole energy by bypassing their meters. The company did not identify the electricity thieves but the Managing Director, Adeoye Fadeyibi, who disclosed this at a media briefing, said no effort would be spared in dealing with energy theft.  

He said the VGC Estate used to be billed together as a single-customer using one meter. Fadeyibi said following agitations by residents for individual metering and billing system, the company installed meters for houses few months ago.
