Women in Rivers State have accused the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company of being behind their woes of their husband no longer touching them at night.
They attributed this to the constant darkness into which the electricity distribution firm has thrown them for months.
The women made their grievance known on Tuesday when they protested in the Diobu area of Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

The protesting women bore placards such as: No Light, No Payment; and The Heat is too much.
The leader of the protesting women, Maria Ike, said: “We have decided to let the world know what we are passing through in the hands of PHED.
“The poor supply in our area is at zero level despite the fact that we pay monthly bills to PHED.
“We no longer have romance and conjugal relationship with our husbands because of so much heat due to power failure.
“Our businesses have collapsed because of power outages.
“This is really affecting our families.”
