A live video broadcast by Ukan Kurugh has brought attention to the escalating electricity crisis in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, triggered by persistent blackouts from Jos Electricity Distribution Company (Jos DisCo). The video highlights how the city has been thrust into near-total darkness, creating a perilous environment for criminals who now operate freely, robbing residents with minimal security intervention.
Kurugh’s call to action urges the community to unite and confront the situation before it spirals out of control. He emphasized that the Electricity Company must be addressed in the only language they understand—peaceful but firm protest. The video tags the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS), seeking their support in tackling the security challenges exacerbated by the blackout.
Residents are increasingly frustrated as the persistent power outage disrupts daily life and heightens safety concerns. The situation has sparked a growing demand for accountability and immediate action from Jos DisCo to restore reliable electricity to the region.
