“They came in, started beating our staff, and even took my laptop. Many employees can’t find their phones since they left,” Okotie told Vanguard in a phone interview.

The chaos reportedly stemmed from IKEDC’s decision to disconnect electricity to the Air Force barracks over unpaid bills amounting to more than ₦4 billion.
