BREAKING: Tinubu In Dàrkness As H00dlums St£al Cables Supplying Electricity To Aso Rock

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on Friday said the Presidential Villa has been thrown into darkness as rising cases of theft of electricity cables disrupt power supply.

TCN, in a statement, and another from the Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu, showed that a 132kV transmission line and underground cables supplying power to central parts of the Federal Capital Territory and its environs were vandalised.

The vandalised 132kV underground cable transports bulk electricity to TCN’s 132kV Central Area transmission substation, which then supplies power through eight distribution feeders to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company.

General Manager at TCN, Ndidi Mba, said the incident, which occurred around the Millennium Park, a few kilometres away from the Presidential Villa, saw the vandals carting away 40 meters of 1x500mm² XLPE conductors on the two 132kV transmission lines.
