The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has confirmed that vandals destroyed its four towers along the Jos-Gombe transmission line, resulting in power blackout in three states of Adamawa, Gombe and Taraba.
TCN general manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, who disclosed this in a statement late Monday night, said the towers were vandalised around 3:32pm on Monday.
As a result, the bulk power supply to Gombe, Yola, and Jalingo substations has been disrupted, affecting the bulk power supply to parts of Yola and Jos Electricity Distribution Companies’ franchise areas.
A statement from the TCN confirming the incident notes that ‘when the 330kV transmission line tripped, its operators attempted to restore it to service but it tripped again, prompting the dispatch of TCN lines men to trace the line to detect and rectify the fault.
It also said: “While fault tracing, TCN’s engineering crew discovered that towers 288, 289, 290, and 291 were vandalised and that some tower members were carted away. Also, the towers had equally collapsed as a result of the incident.
“To mitigate the effect of the incident on electricity consumers affected by the incident, TCN is trying to first back feed Gombe through its 132kV transmission line from Bauchi and subsequently Ashaka, Potiskum, Damaturu, and Billiri/Savannah”.
TCN said will do everything possible to restore supply to the affected areas while efforts are made to reconstruct the four vandalised towers.
Recall that Abuja was thrown into darkness in February over the vandalisation of TCN towers.
