Man locks NEPA office over failure to pay up rent
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that an angry landlord had shut down NEPA's office over rents owed him.
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.
It was gathered that the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution (PHED) office had not paid their rent since December 2020.
