The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is currently repairing four vandalized power lines situated along the Afam-IPP-Elelenwo 132kV Double-Circuit Transmission Line. The incident was first discovered on August 6, 2026, when TCN's engineers from the Port Harcourt Region conducted an inspection of the line. The affected structures are identified as Towers T50 to T53, with their tower members removed and taken away by vandals.
This is the fifth reported vandalism attack on this specific transmission line in recent times. TCN emphasized that the rehabilitation work is ongoing and urged all stakeholders to support efforts in preventing further attacks on transmission infrastructure, as damage to these towers can disrupt the reliable transmission of electricity within the national grid.
