Relations of the six people who were electrocuted due to a transformer explosion at Tundunwada area of Lugbe, Abuja are demanding a settlement of N20m for each of the fatalities from the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC.
They are also demanding N5m in damages for each of the four persons who sustained injuries from the explosion.
An AEDC power transformer had exploded in the area on Saturday, causing the electrocution of six persons including a pregnant woman.
Ikenna Olelewe who lost his 28 years old brother, James in the incident told The Punch that the families of the victims have been discussing the issue of compensation by AEDC with leaders of the community.
“The community chief pleaded with us to resolve the matter amicably with the AEDC officials, but the resolution depends on how cooperative the power firm is. The affected families have resolved to demand N20 million for each life lost and N5 million each for those injured; we have instructed our lawyer to write to the company and make our demands known,” he said.
A community leader, James Omeje blamed the AEDC for the tragic incident which he attributed to wrong connection.
However the Head, Corporate Communications and Community Relations of AEDC, Oyebode Fadipe said he would not comment on the incident till ongoing investigations were concluded.
