TCN begins rehabilitation of four vandalised towers on Afam-IPP-Elelenwo
The Transmission Company of Nigeria says it is currently rehabilitating four vandalised towers on the Afam-IPP-Elelenwo 132 kilovolt double-circuit line. It announced this in a statement on Monday.
TCN discovered the incident on August 6 through its line engineers from the Port Harcourt region.
It said that towers T50 to T53 were affected, with their tower members removed and carted away.
This is the fifth vandalism attack on the same line in recent times.
“As rehabilitation work progresses, we enjoin all stakeholders to join hands to curb the menace that is threatening the stability of the national grid,” it said.
