Speaking with some of the protesters and reading the inscriptions on their banners and placards, it appears that these communities covering Adewumi, Trailer Park, Adeleye, Erunmu, Fatumo, Atari, Lalupon, Ejioku, Ile-Igbon, Iyana-Ofa among others have been disconnected for over five years with no hope of reconnection.
The IBEDC has since closed their offices to prevent a breakdown of law and order
