Three suspected vandals of power installations arrested in Enugu – TCN

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the arrest of three suspected vandals believed to be responsible for damaging power line installations in Agbogugu, Enugu State.

In a statement released in Abuja on Thursday, TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, confirmed that the arrests took place on 24 March through a collaborative effort between community members and law enforcement agencies.

She explained that the suspects were initially detained at Agbogugu Police Station, Ozalla, before being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department. They were subsequently remanded in custody following their initial court appearance.

“TCN officials are working closely with law enforcement agencies to ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable.

“This incident underscores the importance of community vigilance and cooperation with security agencies in the fight against vandalism.”

She urged host communities to remain watchful and to report any suspicious activities to security operatives or the nearest TCN office.

Mbah stressed that acts of vandalism posed a serious threat to the nation’s efforts to maintain a stable and efficient transmission grid.

“By working together, we can safeguard our infrastructure and build a more resilient transmission network.

“Swift reporting of suspicious activities will play a crucial role in preventing such incidents and bringing those responsible to justice,” she stated.
