In the pictures that were shared, the angry landlord took a sit in front of the locked office, suggesting a finality on his decision and perhaps to prevent any forceful entry into the place.
According to the unidentified man, the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution (PHED) office had not paid their rent since December 2020.
However, the affected PHED officials said they have paid up stressing that the landlord may yet to have received alert.
PHEDC spokesperson, Chioma Aninwe reacting to the incident stated that it may be a case of communication breach and went on to say that the house owner has already been reached with a proof of their payment.
