A man believed to be a retired army general has been seen in a video threatening to attack employees of Ikeja Electric who visited his residence in Magodo, Lagos on Thursday.
Holding a pistol and a machete, the furious customer is seen engaging members of the Revenue Protection Team of Ikeja Electric who were on a mission to re-certify and seal prepaid metres.

The objective of the task, according to the team, was to prevent the tampering of metres or energy theft.
However, the customer, who apparently misconstrued the mission of the team, came out with a pistol and machete and threatened to deal with them.
According to him, he pays for electricity as and when due, and has a lot of credit on his metre.

Despite pleas and explanations by the team that they were on a routine duty, the customer insisted they would not enter his property.
