A yet-to-be identified man has been electrocuted while attempting to vandalize Transmission Tower 34 along the Nkalagu-Abakaliki 132kV Transmission Line in Ebonyi State.
The incident which occurred on the 19th of July, 2025 was disclosed in a statement by the General Manager, Public Affairs of TCN, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah.
According to the statement, the body of the electrocuted vandal, hanging on the tower has since been brought down.
Recall that TCN has consistently warned against such acts, emphasizing the potentially fatal consequences of tampering with transmission infrastructure carrying high voltages critical to national development.
The electricity Company however urged the public to protect electricity infrastructure within their vicinity and report any suspicious activity around power installations to security operatives or any TCN office nationwide.
