Angry Ibadan residents on Monday from Olodo to Iyana Offa in Oyo State took to the streets to protest against the continuous disconnection by the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC).
Protesters in large numbers stormed the IBEDC office located in Alabebe along Iwo -Olodo road and obstructed the free movement of vehicular activities.

The company’s public relations manager could not be reached on phone.
