FCCPC seals Ikeja Electric offices for failing to meet consumer rights obligations.
Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has sealed the facilities of Ikeja Electric for violating consumer rights.
Bola Adeyinka, FCCPC’s Director of Surveillance and Investigation, said the action follows repeated engagement with the company.
“Sealing this facility is a proportionate enforcement measure taken only after several opportunities for voluntary compliance,” Adeyinka said on Thursday. “The seal will remain until Ikeja Electric fully complies with directives from NERC and the FCCPC and provides written proof of compliance.”

The dispute stems from a decision by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) requiring Ikeja Electric to unbundle a Maximum Demand account into 20 separate accounts, covering 19 residential units and one service point. The company was also required to provide metering and connection for each unit.
Despite meeting all payment obligations, the complainant has been without electricity for over two and a half years. FCCPC said repeated notices and a compliance directive issued in April and October 2025 were ignored.
Ikeja Electric has not yet responded to the sealing.
