Hon. Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, Commissioner for Housing, addressed the situation following a recent enforcement operation in Lateef Kayode Jakande Estate, where residents were caught engaging in energy theft by tampering with electrical connections.

Despite some residents’ pleas for leniency, the Commissioner reaffirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining order and upholding the regulations designed to ensure the proper functioning of government-owned estates.
