Shehu Shagari’s House Owing N6m Bills, Kaduna Disco Explains Disconnection

The Kaduna Electric Distribution Company has explained its reason for disconnecting the supply to the house of former Nigerian president, Shehu Shagari.

It said the house has an outstanding N6 million to pay, saying the bills have not been paid since 2018 when Shagari died.

Abdulaziz Abdullahi, spokesman of the company, said: “The bill has not been paid since the former president died on December 28, 2018 at the age of 93.

“The company has given enough grace for them to settle the bills before the disconnection.”

The Punch reports that Shagari’s family member said the Sokoto State Government had paid the electricity bills of the house before the demise of the former president.

However, a government official said the Federal Government should be in charge of the welfare of the late president’s family, adding that the state government only assisted due to compassion and respect for Shagari.
