Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has condemned the assault on Ikeja Electric (IE) staff by Nigerian Air Force (NAF) personnel, calling for swift disciplinary action against those involved.
According to the report, at least 10 IKEDC workers sustained injuries and were hospitalized after being attacked by NAF officers in Ikeja, Lagos.
A disturbing video obtained by SaharaReporters shows some of the electricity workers kneeling with their hands raised, following orders from Air Force personnel.
Reacting to the incident on Thursday via his X handle, Sowore described the officers’ actions as “unacceptably egregious” and urged NAF authorities to take immediate action against those responsible.
He condemned the inhumane treatment of the workers, calling it a gross abuse of power that must not go unpunished. Sowore insisted that the Nigerian Air Force must identify the perpetrators and ensure they face the consequences.

“I unequivocally and wholeheartedly denounce the brutal actions of military personnel who invaded and assaulted workers at Ikeja Electric in Lagos.
“This unacceptably egregious behavior was reportedly perpetrated by men of the Nigerian Air Force @NigAirForce and these officers must be identified and sanctioned accordingly,” Sowore added.
