Kano Electricity Distribution Company has dragged the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria before the High Court of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, over unlawful interference resulting in revenue losses up to the tune of N5.3bn.
The lawsuit was a counter-action taken by the DisCo following the rejection of the new tariff hike by MAN, Kano Branch and its over 41 member affiliate to boycott payment of the new tariff to the DisCo through a court injunction the association obtained on behalf of maximum demand consumers on Band A in the three states of Kano, Katsina and Jigawa.
KEDCO through a statement issued by the Head of Corporate Communications, Sani Sani and obtained by our reporter, said the actions of MAN had subjected the company to a huge revenue loss of up to over N5.3bn per month.
Recall that KEDCO had disclosed its intentions to reduce electricity supply to Kano, Katsina, and Jigawa States.
It blamed its decision on the two-week court injunction obtained by the MAN, which it claimed hindered its ability to purchase power.
