Abuja Electricity Distribution Company AEDC has disclossed that the recent rift between them and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC has been resolved.
This was made known in a statement made available to the media yesterday in Abuja.
AEDC recently alleged that a team of EFCC staff visited the premises of AEDC without notice or any warrants and violated the rights of law-abiding citizens of this country.
And that several staff of the company were physically assaulted, unlawfully arrested and arbitrarily detained without cause or justification
However, in a twist of event, the Abuja Disco said that the two organisations have resolved the matter amicably.
“We are pleased to inform the general public that in a swift and positive turn of events, the recent friction between our great company, AEDC Plc and the EFCC, has been resolved.”
“This was the outcome of a meeting between senior officials of both organisations where it came to the fore that the recent incident at our corporate headquarters involving some of our staff and officials of the EFCC on 6 June 2022, was as a result of misinformation and misunderstanding.”
“Following this high-level engagement, both sides resolved to settle all the issues amicably and forge ahead in the interest of peace and mutual cooperation. In the light of this development our company AEDC shall not be seeking legal redress.”
“We wish to also make clear that as a responsible corporate citizen AEDC will continue to collaborate and cooperate with the EFCC and other law enforcement agencies, in their activities and operations when required to do so.”
