Residents of Amuzukwu Ibeku in Umuahia North LGA of Abia State are experiencing difficulties in their homes, following four days of power outage in the community.
The situation has resulted to hardship upon the residents and is also exposing them to health risks.
A move around the town Monday morning by DAILY POST saw many residents loitering with empty cans, searching for water.
Some parents were seen complaining that they did not have the water to bath their children to prepare them for school.
Also most of the persons that sold water to the public did not open for business as they said that it was costly pumping water with diesel.
The residents, including Okeoma Jeffrey, Amarachi Kalu and Nze Paul Onukwufor appealed to the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC, to urgently restore power.
Another resident, who pleaded anonymity, accused the power distribution company of not supplying power, even after receiving payment for their bills.
No explanation has been offered by the EEDC concerning the outage.
