Duty turned tragically sour for an employee of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) on Tuesday when he was stabbed to death.
The man, whose name has yet to be identified, was reportedly in the Kabusa area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, when a man attacked them from behind.
A colleague of his, with whom he was working, was also said to have been injured.
He, however, escaped.
The head of Corporate Communication at AEDC, Oyebode Fadipe, confirmed the attack.
Fadipe said two of their workers were attacked, while one is dead, the other is receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital and he is doing well.
He added that the attacks on their staffers had become recurrent and rampant.
Fadipe said AEDC would pursue this case to the logical conclusion and will no longer take this recurrent attack on their officials lightly.
