TCN Restores 90% Power Supply After Nationwide Blackout
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) reported that it has restored about 90% of bulk power supply to its substations following a national grid collapse that caused a blackout across the country. The incident occurred on Monday, October 14, 2024, at around 6:48 PM, and recovery efforts started immediately with support from the Azura power station.
Despite a minor setback on Tuesday morning, power supply has been restored to the Abuja region and other major distribution centers. The Ibom Gas generating station continued to supply electricity to southern areas during the outage. TCN plans to investigate the cause of the disturbance once the grid is fully operational. While some parts of Abuja saw a return of electricity, many areas still experienced outages, prompting criticism from the public over the frequent grid failures.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
