An office of the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) located in the Ogbumnabali area of the state capital was on Thursday locked by the landlord over unpaid rent.

A social media user, Stephen Momoh shared photos of the closure.

In one of the images, the landlord is seen sitting in front of the locked-up door.

Another photo captured where a PHED official was attending to customers in a car parked within the premises.

PUNCH reported that when the PHED spokesperson, Chioma Aninwe, was contacted, she confirmed the development but insisted that a communication gap led to the incident.
