The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced the arrest of three suspected vandals allegedly responsible for damaging power line installations in Agbogugu, Enugu.
In a statement on Thursday, Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s spokeswoman, said the arrest took place on March 24 through a joint effort between community members and law enforcement agencies.
She said the suspects were initially detained at Agbogugu Police Station, Ozalla, before being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department and later remanded in prison after their first court appearance.
“TCN officials are working closely with the police to ensure the vandals face justice,” the TCN statement said. “This incident highlights the importance of community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement in combating vandalism.”
She urged host communities to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to security operatives or the nearest TCN office.
“By working together, we can protect our communities and ensure a more robust transmission network.
“Prompt reporting of suspicious activities will greatly help in preventing such incidents and bringing perpetrators to justice,” she said.
