Angry women in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital took to the streets in protest claiming their husbands have been starving them of sex following the persistent heat and prolonged power outage from the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED).
The women who staged peaceful protest in Mile 2 and Mile 3 Diobu, Port Harcourt also stormed the office of the PHED over the inability of their husbands to have romantic relationships with them at night due to the worsening heat which was compounded by alleged poor power supply to their residences.
The Daily Crucible reports that the women bearing placards, also marched through streets like Dim, Wokoma, Wokoma Lane, Obaziolu, Dim Lane, Egbuagu, Azikiwe and Ojoto streets all in Diobu before terminating the protest at the PHED office.
Some of the placards have inscriptions: ‘No Light No Payment’, ‘The Heat is too much,’ ‘No ‘Nacking’ from our husbands over heat,” “PHED Give Us Light, No Bills.”
They lamented the situation was causing them emotional, psychological and physical discomfort.
