The Transmission Company of Nigeria says two towers along its 330-kilovolt Shiroro-Kaduna transmission lines 1 and 2 have been vandalised.“According to reports from the Shiroro Regional office of TCN, the 330kV transmission line one tripped first, followed shortly by the second, as efforts were still ongoing to reclose the first line, prompting the urgent mobilization of local vigilantes to patrol the lines,” TCN.
TCN said it has also conducted an “aerial survey in collaboration with security operatives, given the area’s vulnerability to banditry, which poses a significant threat to both TCN installations and personnel”.
