The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has reported that its Ahoada-Yenagoa 132kV line, which is currently under repair due to previous vandalism, was again targeted by vandals on November 19, 2024.

The attack, which affected towers 29 to 31, resulted in the theft of approximately one-third of the conductor.

A team of TCN engineers, led by the General Manager of the Port Harcourt Region, Engr. Emmanuel Akpan, has conducted an inspection of the site.

A statement signed by the spokesperson of TCN, Ndidi Mbah, said preliminary findings indicated that the incident occurred at night. “In an attempt to prevent further theft while repair arrangements are being made, local security has been engaged at Ula Ikata in Ahoada East LGA to secure the site until repairs are completed. Additionally, the line will be energized from the Ahoada end as a preventive measure.

“Efforts to replace the stolen 250mm conductor are currently underway. Despite challenges posed by difficult terrain and flooding, the restringing of the Ahoada-Yenagoa 132kV line is approximately 85% complete.”

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 in this incident.

The vandalised towers, which suffered significant damage, with critical components removed, were discovered by TCN linesmen during a routine patrol.

Mbah added that TCN engineers from the Benin Sub-Region have initiated repairs to prevent the collapse of the affected towers and to avoid disruption of bulk power supply.

“These incidents underscore the urgent need to combat the growing problem of vandalism and theft affecting Nigeria’s power infrastructure. TCN calls on the public to support efforts to address these crimes, which have significantly hampered the expansion and stability of the national grid.

“As TCN intensifies its efforts to protect installations, we appeal to security operatives and local communities to be more vigilant in safeguarding power infrastructure in their areas,” she stated.
