The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, yesterday said the Presidential Villa has been thrown into darkness as rising cases of theft of electricity cables disrupt power supply.
TCN, in a statement, and another from the Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu, showed that a 132kV transmission line and underground cables supplying power to central parts of the Federal Capital Territory and its environs were vandalized.
The vandalized 132kV underground cable transports bulk electricity to TCN’s 132kV Central Area transmission substation, which then supplies power through eight distribution feeders to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company.
