Cases of vandalism of electricity infrastructure have taken a new turn as vandals kill contractors and destroy six power transmission towers.

Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited, disclosing this in a release said most of the projects being embarked upon by the company are under attack.

“Again, on October 10, 2022, the vandals attacked and vandalized two additional towers on the same 330kV DC Afam – Onne Transmission Line. Mba added that persistent attacks on the line have caused substantial damage to the transmission line project and it would take huge sums of money to effect needed reconstruction and repairs in addition to resultant delays on delivery time.

According to her, the necessity of reenforcing the message of communal ownership of critical infrastructure cannot be over emphasised. The infrastructure that governments develop are done with taxpayers’ money and are therefore owned by the people,” she explained. This is barely a week after the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC disclosed that eight vandals are currently held in Police custody as vandalism has already cost the company over N300 million in replacement loss.

The utility company had admitted that it was disturbed at the latest turn of events where vandals now resort to draining transformer oil, thereby subjecting the transformer to risk of blowing up once supply is restored.
