“It’s truly another very sad day for us at TCN, with this incident, especially with the loss of life of the NSCDC official.

“TCN commensurate with the family of the deceased and the NSCDC for this very sad and shocking incident,” she said.

Earlier in December, the TCN said that its Gwagwalada-Kukwaba-Apo 132kV Transmission line 1 had been vandalised between Towers 23 and Tower 25.

Ms Mbah said the vandalisation of the line was suspected to have taken place at about 1am on Sunday, December 10, 2023.

Last week, the TCN said its towers around Katsaita village in Yobe State was vandalised.

The company said the vandalisation brought down the 330kV transmission tower, which pulled down tower T373 along the same transmission line route.

Condemning the act in a statement last Saturday, Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, appealed to all Nigerians to stand against such actions noting that those responsible for the destructive act will face the full force of the law.

“Deeply troubled by the recent act of vandalism on our power infrastructure. A transmission tower in Yobe State, tower T372, was deliberately brought down, causing a ripple effect that led to the collapse of tower T373 along the same transmission line. This criminal act occurred at 21:18 and disrupted power supply to parts of the Northeast, affecting Yobe and Borno States,” Adelabu said in a statement posted on his X handle.

“While I condemn this deliberate sabotage, I appeal to all Nigerians to stand against such actions. We cannot let a few individuals hinder our efforts in providing regular electricity to the nation. Our Ministry is working closely with law enforcement agencies to investigate this incident thoroughly,” he added.

He explained that those responsible for this destructive act will face the full force of the law.

He said vandalism not only disrupts power supply but also poses a threat to the safety and well-being of Nigerian communities.
