The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that vandals destroyed TCN towers T97 to T99 on July 29.
In a statement in Abuja, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s general manager of Public Affairs, said the incident was first reported by the youth president of the Ukpeli Community in Rivers on August 12.

The company said the destroyed towers are located in several communities, including Okobe in Ahoada East, Emezhi 1 in Ahoada West.

Others are in Mbiama in Ahoada West local government area of Rivers State and the Igbogene community in Bayelsa.

TCN said the Port -Harcourt region of TCN, led by the general manager of Transmission, Mr Emmanuel Akpa, promptly visited the site near TCN’s Ahoada transmission substation to assess the situation, according to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria.
The company said that the team confirmed that 13 towers, from T52 to T64, were affected by the act of vandalism.

The TCN further stated that nine towers collapsed completely, while four were hanging precariously and could collapse at any moment.

The managing director of TCN, Mr Sule Abdulaziz, described the incident as a national disaster.
He urged the governments of Rivers and Bayelsa states to assist TCN in addressing the ongoing vandalism of its installations, which has become increasingly alarming and overwhelming.
He said TCN had recently responded to the vandalised and subsequent collapse of towers T97 to T99 on the same line route on July 29, with ongoing work to rebuild the vandalised towers.
“Additionally, a new contract was recently awarded for reinforcing towers 19-31 on the Ahoada-Yenagoa line, where tower members had been vandalised and stolen.

“Inspite of these ongoing efforts, the recent vandalism of the towers presents a significant challenge to TCN.

‘’It is important to note that the Ahoada-Yenagoa 132kV Double Circuit Transmission line is crucial for evacuating power from the Ahoada transmission substation to the Yenagoa substation, which supplies electricity to the entire Bayelsa.

“Given the extent of the destruction to the towers and the ongoing work on previously vandalised transmission towers, it may take several months for TCN to complete the rebuilding and stringing of the buildings to restore power supply to the state.

“TCN once again appeals to security operatives, host communities, traditional rulers, state governments, and all stakeholders to collaborate with TCN in the fight against power installation vandalism. Urgent action is required,” he said.
