The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced that armed vandals invaded and damaged a 330/132/33 kilovolt, 150 megaamperes power transformer radiator at the ongoing Obajana Transmission Substation.
The spokesperson of TCN, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
According to her, the incident occurred on the night of November 12, 2024, at approximately 11:55 PM.
“According to reports from security personnel at the site, the assailants opened fire indiscriminately, causing the guards to flee. During the attack, a 150MVA 330/132/33kV power transformer, already positioned on its plinth, was struck, resulting in a burst radiator.
“In response to the incident, TCN is evaluating the level of damage in collaboration with the contractor managing the project.
“This incident is part of a broader pattern of vandalism targeting transmission infrastructure across the country. The new Obajana Transmission Substation, which is designed to be a 1X150MVA 330/132/33kV capacity substation, will significantly enhance power supply to Kogi State and surrounding areas upon completion,” the company stated.
In the past months, TCN has reported several vandalization incidents at its facilities across the country.
Barely three days ago, TCN initiated the blackout in Lokoja Kogi State due to the vandalization of Lokoja-Gwagwalada 330 kilovolt transmission line 1.
The company had also blamed incessant national grid collapses in Nigeria on the vandalization of its facilities.
DAILY POST reports that in the past months, the National Grid had collapsed at least twelve times.
