Vandals Bomb Transmission Line In Abuja, Cut Supply By 250MW by nlfpmod: 10:53am On Feb 28

Suspected electricity vandals have intensified their assault on the nation's capital city, Abuja following reported the bombing of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) Tower 70, along the 330KV Gwagwalada -Katampe transmission line in the Federal Capital Territory.

The horrific incident has reduced bulk power supply flexibility and the volume of power into Abuja by 250MW, according to TCN's spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah.

Ndidi said the incident occurred at about 11.32pm on 26th February which forced the company to deploy a patrol team after an attempt at reclosure of power trip at the Gwagwalada Substation failed.

She said the tower is presently standing precariously with support of conductors.

"The sad incident occurred on the 26th of February, 2024, at about 11.32 pm. At the said time, the Gwagwalada - Katampe Transmission line tripped at Gwagwalada Transmission Substation and trial reclosure by TCN Operators failed, necessitating a physical patrol of the line.

"The TCN lines and patrol team discovered that the four (4) tower footings of Tower 70 were bombed, destroying the tower legs and causing the tower to stand on the ground, supported by conductors."

Mbah disclosed that the company had mobilised to the location for emergency repairs while calling for vigilance on the part of citizens .

"Meanwhile, TCN has mobilised to the site of the incident and has commenced an emergency repair of the damaged tower and its associated equipment.

"We reiterate the need for vigilance in the fight against vandalism of power equipment. It is important that we report suspicious movements around all power equipment to security operatives or to the nearest TCN offices nationwide."

Since Tinubu got into power we hardly read or see good news, only bad bad news. And you can’t have a normal conversation again with anyone without hearing complain of how hard life is.

Quite shameful. We citizens also need to play our part to report/take video of illegitimate actions.
Video serves are evidence and means for law enforcement to track down the culprits.

The hell?
Is this a terrorist attack? I still can't understand how things like this can happen in the nation's capital, I mean, we have our president living in this city FFS! A nation's capital is a symbol of power and authority. You can't be having bombs go off or prisons broken into, it's insane. How are vandals allowed to sabotage critical infrastructure in the nation's capital? Things like this is an indictment to everybody who is supposed to be in-charge of security in the state

Any one who destroys critical public infrastructure should go to the gallows. Democracy is crazy- too much long procedures for critical issues that affect the lives of millions.
