Suspected arsonists have set ablaze a warehouse belonging to one of the Meter Asset Providers (MAP) accredited by the Ondo State Government under the O’DATIWA Metering Scheme, destroying prepaid meters worth over N10 million.

The incident, The Nation learnt, occurred on Monday and leading to the razing of a facility belonging to the Active Achievers Nigeria Limited along Barracks Road, Okitipupa Local Government Area of the state. 

Not less than 100 Active Energy Prepaid Meters were lost to the inferno.

Confirming the incident on Wednesday in a chat, the Managing Director of the company, Mr Henry Akinbola Oyinbo, said residents in the area alerted the firm to the fire outbreak.

Oyinbo described the development as a “coordinated blaze”, insisting that the incident was an act of sabotage.

“We were informed early on Monday morning that a raging inferno was consuming our warehouse. 

“Our Active Energy Prepaid Meters, though the best and most affordable in the market, are not inflammable, and as such could not have caught fire without someone deliberately setting it ablaze. 

“It is devastating that agents of darkness could strike in this manner,” he lamented.

The Managing Director called on security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation into what he described as an attempt to cripple the state’s metering initiative.

Confirming the incident, Ondo Police Public Relations Officer, Olayinka Ayanlade, said detectives have launched an investigation to determine the actual cause of the fire.
