Three individuals have been arrested in Nigeria for allegedly vandalizing power line installations belonging to the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) in Agbogugu, Enugu State.
The suspects were apprehended through a collaborative effort between community members and law enforcement agents on Sunday, March 24, 2025.
They were initially detained at the Agbogwugu police station in Ozalla, then transferred to the state’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and finally moved to prison after their first court appearance.
According to a statement issued by TCN, the company is working closely with the police to ensure the vandals face justice.
This incident underscores the importance of community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement in combating vandalism.
TCN urged all host communities to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to security operatives or the nearest TCN office.
TCN emphasized that vandalism is a serious offense affecting everyone, undermining the nation’s efforts to provide a reliable and efficient transmission grid.
The company called on all Nigerians to support their efforts in addressing the situation.
