TCN Reports Fresh Vandalism on Lokoja–Gwagwalada Line, Disrupting Power Supply to Abuja
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a new act of vandalism on the 330kV Lokoja–Gwagwalada transmission line, affecting power supply to Abuja.
The incident, which took place early on November 9, resulted in damage to three transmission towers (T306, T307, and T308) and the theft of two spans of aluminum conductor. TCN engineers discovered the damage after several failed attempts to re-energize the line.
While an alternative line continues to supply power to the area, TCN is working to replace the damaged conductors.
This latest incident follows a series of attacks on power infrastructure, including previous cases on the Gwagwalada–Kukuwaba–Apo and Gwagwalada–Katampe lines. TCN has called on local communities to support security efforts, stressing the impact of vandalism on the stability of Nigeria’s national grid.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
