Vandals destroy 6 Transmission_Company_of_Nigeria towers

Vandals destroyed six transmission towers (T125 to T130) on the Apir-Lafia 330kV Transmission Lines I and II in Nasarawa, Nigeria>>>, on May 30 at approximately 1:15 am during a heavy downpour. This act of vandalism, confirmed by the Nigeria — Transmission Company of Nigeria>>> (TCN) through its spokesperson Ndidi Mbah>>>, has caused severe power supply disruptions. Both transmission lines are out of service pending reconstruction. TCN engineers have been mobilized to assess the damage and begin repairs. As a temporary measure, the Lafia 330kV Transmission Station is being supplied via the Lafia-Jos transmission line to minimize the impact on customers of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company>>> and Jos Electricity Distribution Company>>>. TCN strongly condemns the ongoing vandalism, which undermines investments in the power sector, and has appealed to communities to report suspicious activities to protect national grid assets.
