Housewives in Kano State, yesterday, staged a peaceful protest against epileptic power supply by Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) at Unguwar, Medile and Sheka in Kumbotso Local Council.
The protesting women were seen carrying placards urging the state government and other relevant authorities to wade into the matter urgently.
Some of the women lamented that their light had not blinked in the past seven months, a situation that gave rise to the increase in criminal activities.
Spokesperson to the aggrieved women, Mrs. Aliyu Hamza, told reporters: “We are imprisoned in our houses at sunset because of threat by criminals. We feel that this protest will draw the attention of the government for possible intervention.”
Head of Corporate Affairs, KEDCO, Ibrahim Shawai, was not available for comment when The Guardian visited his office for clarification and did not respond to phone calls.
