Mbah stated: “TCN was, however, unable to immediately restore bulk power supply through the line due to the vandalism of the Ugwuaji-Apir transmission line.
“Power supply has, however, been fully restored along the Gombe–Damaturu–Maiduguri 330kV transmission line.
“TCN is again calling on the public to join in the fight against power installation vandalism to safeguard the future of electricity in Nigeria.”
Mbah also enjoined Nigerians to report suspicious activities around transmission installations to security operatives or TCN offices nationwide.
