The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has reported a recent act of vandalism on the Lokoja-Gwagwalada transmission line, where three towers along the route were destroyed and two spans of aluminium conductors were stolen.
According to a statement from TCN, the attack has disrupted bulk power transmission in the affected area.
Despite the damage, the company confirmed that power supply continues through a secondary line, as it works to replace the stolen materials.
TCN expressed growing concern over the escalating vandalism of power infrastructure, which it said is threatening the stability and expansion of Nigeria’s national grid.
The company urged local communities to cooperate with security forces in safeguarding transmission lines and towers to prevent further damage to the country’s power network.
