Do You Know Breaking Prepaid Meter's Tamper Seal is a Crime?
"I never knew breaking prepaid metre seal is an offence , Nepa people came to my compound today , they checked metres of all the flats and discovered my own metre seal was broken ๐ข๐.
They disconnected my light and wrote a note that I should go to their office . I rushed to their office immediately but what the guy I was told to meet for my complaint told me broke my heart , he said that if am using one face I will be paying 110,000 and if am using 3 faces I will be paying 200k plus I shouted Jesus !!! .. he said I should go and come back on Thursday by then my bill will be ready , they want to check if I tampered with the light as in by pass, I didn't do that.
Why my metre seal broke was because when my light had issues , I called an electrician to check , he opened up the metre that was when it got broken which I didn't know it was a big offence ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ, after checking that day he discoverd the problem was not from the metre . He told me I should go to Nepa office . I went there, I was given code to press on my metre that was how I fixed my light.
My post is just to enlighten you guys not to make the same mistake that I made. Whenever you have light issue rush to Nepa office.
There's no light in my house now , till Thursday that's when I will know how much to pay for the seal .
The whole scenario ruined๐ญ๐ญ my day .
It's well ooo! May God help me."
