The Federal Government has announced plans to establish a special security unit, dubbed “Power Rangers,” to protect the nation’s electricity infrastructure.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, disclosed the plan during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday.

“We have decided now with the Minister of Power to have what we call the power rangers,” Tunji-Ojo said.

He explained that the new unit will be comprised of officers from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and tasked with preventing vandalism of power installations across the country.

Amid rising cases of power outages caused by vandalism, the minister said the government recognised the need for a sector-specific security solution.

“What we had before we came was the generalisation of national assets. But we said no, you cannot have one specific medication that can treat all illnesses.

“So you have to analyse every sector, the power sector, the water sector, the education sector, the health sector; and be able to create arms of Civil Defence under the same umbrella,” he stated.

The minister added that the decision was influenced by the success of the Mines Marshalls, which were introduced by the government in March 2024 to address security issues in the mining sector.

Although the creation of the “Power Rangers” has been confirmed, no date has been set for their official unveiling or launch.

“We’ve already agreed on the modus operandi and as I speak to you, the offices are being screened,” he said.

He further explained that officers will be stationed in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to ensure nationwide protection of power installations.

He said this is because “there is no state without a power infrastructure; it is just like the solid mineral sector.

“We are already in the process of onboarding those officers; we have to profile them, look at their capacity, look at their competence, look at their area of specialisation, look at a lot of considerations, even physical strength.”
