The Consumer Rights Advancement Organisation (CRADO) which led a protest to a forum organised by the Nigeria Electricity Regulating Commission (NERC) in Lagos, stated that it had lined up a team of attorneys, who would take up a legal battle against any DISCO that disconnects consumers, who join the boycott.
President of CRADO, Chief Adeolu Ogunbanjo, who said that pre-paid meters were available in the warehouses of manufacturers, alleged a foul play by distribution firms to rip-off customers with the apathy they display to connection of the meters for customers.
