TCN’s general manager, Public Affairs, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, said the incident occurred in the early hours of Friday, at its 132kv transmission line and underground cable transmitting bulk power to the 132kv Central Area transmission substation, Katampe, in the Central Area of Abuja.

According to her, the vandalism of the power infrastructure which affected the supply of electricity to Maitama, Wuse, Garki, Jabi, Life Camp, Asokoro, Utako, Mabushi and part of Presidential Villa, was suspected to have been carried out by unknown persons around the Millennium Park.

She revealed that eight distribution feeders feeding the Central Area were affected and over 60 per cent of power supply to Abuja was involved.

The GM said the vandals carted away 40 meters of 1x500mm xlpe conductor on the 2No of 132kv transmission line.
