Angry Women Block PHCN Crew from Cutting Their Power Amid Prolonged Outages

A group of women confronted officials from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria after months without electricity. They accused the crew of trying to disconnect a line that had seen no supply for three months. In the video, the women spoke in Yoruba: “We have not had light, yet you still want to disconnect our wire?” They formed a human barrier around the ladder, preventing the officials from climbing the pole. Tensions rose when one worker attempted to push a protester, prompting the others to swarm around him. The footage spread widely on social media, drawing praise for the women’s stand against PHCN. This standoff comes days after the Minister of Power apologized for persistent blackouts and promised improvements within two weeks.
