(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/nexusnew/nigerdeltanews.ng/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced that armed vandals invaded and damaged a 330\/132\/33 kilovolt, 150 megaamperes power transformer radiator at the ongoing Obajana Transmission Substation.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson of TCN, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to her, the incident occurred on the night of November 12, 2024, at approximately 11:55 PM.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to reports from security personnel at the site, the assailants opened fire indiscriminately, causing the guards to flee. During the attack, a 150MVA 330\/132\/33kV power transformer, already positioned on its plinth, was struck, resulting in a burst radiator.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn response to the incident, TCN is evaluating the level of damage in collaboration with the contractor managing the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis incident is part of a broader pattern of vandalism targeting transmission infrastructure across the country. The new Obajana Transmission Substation, which is designed to be a 1X150MVA 330\/132\/33kV capacity substation, will significantly enhance power supply to Kogi State and surrounding areas upon completion,\u201d the company stated.<\/p>\n
In the past months, TCN has reported several vandalization incidents at its facilities across the country.<\/p>\n
Barely three days ago, TCN initiated the blackout in Lokoja Kogi State due to the vandalization of Lokoja-Gwagwalada 330 kilovolt transmission line 1.<\/p>\n
The company had also blamed incessant national grid collapses in Nigeria on the vandalization of its facilities.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST reports that in the past months, the National Grid had collapsed at least twelve times.<\/p>\n
