The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has disclosed that three suspected power installation vandals have been arrested in Enugu State.

The company, which did not disclose the identities of the suspects, announced that they were arrested on Sunday in Agbogwugu, Enugu State.

TCN, in a statement issued by its Public Affairs Manager, Ndidi Mbah, on Thursday night in Abuja, stated that the suspects were initially held at Agbogwugu police station, Ozalla, before they were moved to the state CID.

The company said the suspects had been transferred to prison after their first court appearance.

“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 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,” TCN said.

TCN, however, urged all the host communities to report any suspicious activity around its facilities to the security operatives.

“We urge all host communities to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to security operatives or to the TCN office close to you.

“Vandalism 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,” it stated.
