The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has reported a fresh attack on its 330kV Lokoja –Gwagwalada transmission line one.

This comes as Nigerians await the full restoration of power to areas affected by the recent vandalism of the 330kV Shiroro-Kaduna lines.

Its General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, in a statement on Sunday, narrated that the incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, November 9, 2024, with the vandals damaging transmission towers T306, T307, and T308, while two spans of aluminium conductors from the line were stolen.

The company expressed concern over the increasing trend of vandalism targeting transmission lines and towers, which is severely impacting the country’s power infrastructure, and appealed to members of host communities to work with TCN and security operatives to combat this threat.
