Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has sealed the facilities of Ikeja Electric for alleged violation of consumer rights.

In a statement, the FCCPC’s Director of Surveillance and Investigation, Bola Adeyinka, said the enforcement action was taken in line with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018.
“Sealing this facility is a proportionate enforcement measure taken only after repeated engagement and several opportunities for voluntary compliance.

“The seal will remain in place until Ikeja Electric complies fully with the directives issued by both NERC and the FCCPC and provides written evidence of that compliance,” Adeyinka said.
According to the Commission, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) had issued a binding decision directing Ikeja Electric to unbundle a Maximum Demand account into 20 non-Maximum Demand accounts.
The directive required the company to recognise 19 residential units and a service point owned by the complainant as separate customer units, and to provide the required metering and connection.
FCCPC said Ikeja Electric failed to implement the decision, leaving the complainant without electricity supply for more than two and a half years despite fulfilling all payment obligations.

The Commission explained that it had engaged Ikeja Electric several times, including issuing a directive in April 2025 with timelines for compliance, and later a Compliance Notice on Oct. 2, 2025 requiring full compliance within seven business days.
“No action was taken,” FCCPC stated, noting that the company’s continued non-compliance necessitated the sealing of its facilities.
Ikeja Electric is yet to comment on the development.
