Fadipe also mentioned that the outage was caused by vandals’ activities on the 330/132-kilo Volt (kV) Gwagwalada/Kukwaba line.
He further said that while the maintenance crew of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) was already working on the vandalised section of the 330kV/132kV line, efforts were being made to back feed customers from Apo.
Fadipe, in his statement, also apologised to the customers for the disruption.
He finally assured that the electricity supply would be restored once the fault was resolved.
