The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the arrest of three individuals suspected of vandalising power line installations in Agbogugu, Enugu State.

This achievement, the company said, is the result of a collaborative effort between community members and law enforcement agents on Sunday, March 24, 2025.

“The suspects were initially held at Agbogwugu police station, Ozalla, then moved to the state CID and finally transferred to prison after their first court appearance. TCN officials are working closely with the police to ensure the vandals face justice.

“This incident highlights the importance of community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement to fight vandalism,” the company stated in a statement by its spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah.

It urged all host communities to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to security operatives or to the TCN office to close them.

Vandalism, the TCN said, is an offence that affects everyone, undermining the nation’s efforts to provide a reliable and efficient transmission grid.

“By joining forces, we can protect our communities and ensure a robust transmission grid. Prompt reporting of suspicious activities will greatly contribute to preventing such incidents and bringing perpetrators to justice,” the TCN stated.
