ABUJA (Sundiata Post) – Some parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have been thrown into darkness as vandals, again, destroyed the 330-kilovolt Shiroro-Katampe Transmission Line.

A statement by the spokesperson of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, Ndidi Mbah, on Thursday night, said at approximately 11:43 PM, the 330kV Shiroro – Katampe circuit lost supply on the grid.

“The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) regrets to announce that its 330kV Shiroro – Katampe transmission line was vandalized on Wednesday, 18th December 2024.

“At approximately 11:43 pm, the 330kV Shiroro – Katampe circuit lost supply on the grid. A trial reclosure was attempted, but the line tripped again immediately.

“A TCN lines patrol team was dispatched from the Abuja Regional office of TCN to investigate the cause of the fault. The team discovered that vandals had stolen part of the conductor between towers T216 and T218,” she said.

Mbah added that the TCN lines maintenance crew has since mobilised to the site, and is working assiduously to replace the vandalized 330kV power conductor.
“Restoration of bulk power supply through the affected line is expected soon,” she said, appealing to the general public to assist in identifying and reporting suspicious activities around power transmission infrastructure.
