This was contained In a statement made available to journalists, Deputy General Secretary (North)of the association, Comrade Haruna Ahmad Tinau said the association “shall no longer watch this senseless action by any other groups or individuals.”

The statement partly reads:

The attention of the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies (SSAEAC) has been drawn to the recent assault by the Nigerian Army to our members and staff of Kaduna Electric.

The assault came to us as a rude shock even as we are yet to recover from the detention of our members in Port Harcourt Electric under similar reason by the Nigerian Civil Defence.

This is unacceptable and must be resisted so as to deter others with similar barbaric intention from taking such ugly action in the nearest future.

The Association demand for total black out for the Birnin Kebbi Barracks until the culprits are brought to book.

Our Association shall no longer watch this senseless action by any other groups or individuals and in this regard hereby call on all our members in Birnin Kebbi to stay away from your offices until your safety is guaranteed.
