Ikeja Electric Plc is warning Lagos residents and businesses to steer clear of illegal structures and activities under high-voltage power lines, citing serious safety risks.
Operating shops or buildings in these areas can lead to electrocution, fires, and injuries, especially during rainy seasons.
The company highlights areas like Shogbesan Street in Alimosho and AIT Road in Alagbado where encroachment is happening.
Ikeja Electric says these actions violate Lagos State safety regulations and puts lives at risk.
Residents are advised to avoid building under or near power lines, and those already in such areas should relocate.
Ignoring the warning may lead to demolition of structures, loss of property, and legal action.
Ikeja Electric is working with authorities to curb unsafe practices and prevent accidents.
