 Blackout Hits Obosi as Storm Damages Power Infrastructure, Residents Cry Out for EEDC Intervention

 

By Chiedu Uche Okoye


Residents of Obosi in Idemili North LGA have been without electricity for weeks after a storm damaged power installations in the ancient town, forcing artisans and small businesses to shut down or spend heavily on fuel.


Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms recently felled electric poles, snapped high-tension wires, and destroyed the Eke Obosi transformer. Since then, the community has been in total darkness.


The blackout has crippled economic activities. Hairdressers, welders, and other artisans said they can no longer work efficiently.


“I have spent a fortune buying fuel for my generator since the light went off,” said Amaka Ude, a hairdresser in the area. “Before now, we barely enjoyed steady power. Now it’s complete darkness at night.”


Community leaders say the situation has also worsened security concerns.


Mr. De Gaulle Offor, President of Ire Village, Obosi said, “Electricity is a necessity, not a luxury. It boosts economic activities. Criminal elements operate under the cover of darkness. There is a direct link between lack of power and rising crime in any town. I am urging EEDC workers to repair the damaged installations in Obosi quickly.”


Nze Isaac Ejindu, a community leader, accused EEDC of long-standing neglect. “Even before these installations were damaged, Obosi never enjoyed uninterrupted supply. We are used to darkness at night. EEDC must turn a new leaf. They should repair the damaged installations speedily and restore electricity to our town.”


Some prominent indigenes aspiring for elective offices have reportedly provided funds to support repairs, but residents say EEDC technicians are yet to complete the work.
