Vandals Strike TCN Towers Again: How Power Supply in Abuja is Affected

Abuja Power Outage: TCN Towers Under Vandal Attack

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is addressing power outages in Abuja after vandals attacked a key tower on the Gwagwalada-Katampe 330kV line, leading to a 250MW drop in supply.

The vandals destroyed the tower’s structural footings, causing it to lean dangerously, sustained only by conductors.

The TCN has mobilized resources for emergency repairs but has emphasized the need for community vigilance to prevent future incidents of vandalism, which have increasingly disrupted power supply in the region
