Reactions As Lagos Electricity Company EKEDC Photoshopped Equipments They Claim To Have Bought

Wonders they say would never end in Nigeria. This is as an electricity providing company for Lagos and its environs has been called out on Twitter for claiming to have purchased equipments which they had clearly photoshopped.

The Eko Electricity Distribution Company, or EKEDC, were earlier today replying to a question posed by one of their customers on why they did not have any cable fault detectors. In their reply they stated proudly that they had indeed purchased a set of cable fault detectors in October 2019, following their reply tweet with a picture of their senior staff posing with the said equipments.






They said: "Hello Franklin,

In October 2019, we unveiled our cable fault locator equipment, which has improved the reliability of our supply and ensured that faults are not only detected but are easily identified."


However, all hell was let loose when after taking a good look at the supposed equipments, some Twitter users found that they were none existent. They found that they utility company had in fact, photoshopped the equipments.








One Twitter user asked "EKEDC, Why is your equipment floating?". Others continued to call them out on their bluff, saying that they had obviously syphoned monies that ought to be used for purchasing the equipments.
