What happened
The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) accused personnel of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Bauchi Operations Base, of allegedly invading the Jos Electricity Distribution (JED) Plc office in Bauchi State on September 18, 2026. The union claimed the incident followed the disconnection of NAF residential quarters in Bauchi due to alleged prolonged non-payment of electricity bills. NUEE further alleged that NAF personnel took JED’s State Operating Officer, Mr Samaila Isa Bukar, and other unconfirmed staff members to the Air Force barracks, claiming they were assaulted and threatened.
Why it matters
The allegations center on a dispute between JED and NAF regarding utility payments. NUEE stated that the union was considering withdrawing its members from the JED office if safety assurances were not provided by September 23, 2026.
