The footage, which went viral on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, shows armed officers kicking down doors and barging into offices. Shared by Arise TV journalist Oseni Rufai, the video depicts the officers, dressed in full military gear and wielding whips, entering the premises without authorization. A female employee was seen fleeing towards the stairs in fear as the situation escalated.
This incident follows an earlier report on March 6 detailing how armed military personnel invaded Ikeja Electric.
According to a statement from Ikeja Electric, the invasion occurred after the company disconnected a military office due to an unpaid electricity bill amounting to N4 billion.
The power distribution company condemned the act, describing it as an attack on its operations and staff safety.
Authorities and concerned stakeholders have yet to officially respond to the viral footage, but the incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for an investigation into the military’s actions.
