The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the arrest of a suspect in connection with the vandalism of six transmission towers along the Yola–Jalingo 330kV transmission line, following a joint operation with the Nigeria Police Force.
In a statement signed by the management of the transmission company on Wednesday, the vandalized towers numbered T995, T998, T999, T1002, T1003, and T1004, were discovered during a routine patrol by its engineers on July 29, 2026.
