For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes.

"We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

TRAGEDY IN KOGI

MAN LOSES LIFE INTERVENING IN ARGUMENT OVER URINATION


A man lost his life in Kogi state's Adavi local government area after attempting to settle a dispute between two men regarding public urination.


The victim, Orishagbemi Sunday, was 39 years old. The tragedy occurred when Orishagbemi attempted to calm his friend and another man engaged in an argument over the act of urinating in public.


The incident was confirmed by the Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, SP William Ovye Aya.


According to reports, the deceased's friend, who works as a vulcanizer at Ganaja junction, Lokoja, urinated close to a building owned by a resident of the area.


The resident's son, Sadiq, took issue with the action, sparking a heated argument. Concerned by the altercation, Orishagbemi intervened to try and resolve the situation, but the building owner's son pulled out a knife and fatally stabbed him.


The suspect is now in police custody, and investigations are ongoing. Once the investigation is completed, the suspect will be prosecuted in court, as promised by Ayah during an interview with journalists in Lokoja.
