Again, vandals have attacked and caused significant disruption to the ongoing repair works on the Ahoada-Yenagoa 132kV line, the Transmission Company of Nigeria has reported.
The fresh attacks, which occurred on November 19, 2024, affected Towers 29 to 31 and resulted in the theft of approximately one-third of the conductor.
The TCN General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, who announced the development through a statement on Friday in Abuja, called on the public to support efforts by the company to address the criminal activities targeting power infrastructure.
TCN also said local vigilantes had been engaged at Ula Ikata in Ahoada East Local Government Area to secure the site until repairs were completed.
Earlier in November, vandals also attacked transmission towers in the Okada and Ofosu communities along the 330kV Benin-Egbin and Benin-Omotosho transmission lines. A total of 31 towers were affected.
