Police broker truce as power restored to AKTH after KEDCO dispute

Kano State law enforcement officials mediated a billing conflict between Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital and Kano Electricity Distribution Company, which resulted in the restoration of power. Commissioner Ibrahim Adamu Bakori hosted discussions at Bompai Police Headquarters with hospital chief medical director Professor A. Abba Sheshe and electricity company managing director Dr. Abubakar Shuaibu Jimeta. Medical services faced severe disruption when KEDCO disconnected the electrical supply over outstanding payment disputes. The electricity provider agreed to restore power immediately after police emphasized public safety concerns regarding hospital operations. Both organizations praised law enforcement intervention for preserving essential healthcare services during the utility standoff.
