<p>The Transmission Company disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, stating that the attack was discovered during an inspection of the towers for faults.</p>
<p>It noted that the attack took place in the early hours of November 9, 2024, vandalizing three towers and disrupting bulk power transmission along the route.</p>
<div dir="auto"><strong>TCN</strong> while lamenting the theft of two spans of aluminium conductor from line one of the towers by the vandalizes, assured that replacements are currently being sourced.</div>
<div dir="auto">It further condemned the rising trend of vandalism targeting transmission lines and towers, stating that it is hindering the expansion and stability of the <strong>national grid</strong>.</div>
<p>It stated, <em>“Early on Saturday, TCN engineers attempted to re-energize the 330kV Lokoja–Gwagwalada transmission line 1, but the line tripped. After efforts to reclose the line failed, a patrol team of TCN linesmen was dispatched to physically trace the line for faults. Upon inspection, they discovered that transmission towers T306, T307, and T308 along line 1 had been vandalized, disrupting bulk power transmission along the route.</em></p>
<p><em>“Further examination revealed that the vandals had stolen two spans of aluminium conductor from line one. The Lokoja–Gwagwalada line is a double-circuit transmission line, and while TCN is still supplying bulk power through line two, efforts are underway to source replacement aluminium conductors for the two spans stolen from line one”.</em></p>
<p>TCN therefore, appealed to members of the public, especially residents of communities hosting transmission lines and towers, to collaborate with TCN and security operatives in combating the menace.</p>
