Aso Rock in darkness as vandals steal TCN cable

Some parts of the Presidential Villa, popularly known as Aso Rock were yesterday (Friday) thrown into darkness as vandals carted away the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) 132kva underground cables.
The General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, Ndidi Mbah, confirmed that the attack affected 60 per cent of power supply to Abuja as the vandals carted away 40 meters of 1×500mm2 XLPE conductors on the 2 numbers 132kva transmission lines.
According to her, the attacks also affected some other parts of Abuja which included; Maitama, Wuse, Jabi, Lifecamp, Asokoro, Utako, and Mabushi.
The vandalised 132kV transmission line and underground cable supplies bulk power to the Central Area transmission substation in Katampe, Abuja.
She said the incident impacted eight distribution feeders supplying the Central Area, Abuja.
Mbah expressed concern over the ongoing issue of cable vandalism, which continues to disrupt power delivery nationwide.
She further emphasised that TCN has already dispatched a team of engineers to promptly restore power to the affected areas.
“The vandalism of this critical infrastructure is suspected to have occurred near the Menillum Park axis of Abuja,” she stated.
Mbah therefore appealed to residents in the affected areas to remain patient while efforts to repair the damaged cables are underway.
She also called on Nigerians to stay vigilant and protect transmission equipment to prevent further incidents of vandalism.

Protests erupt in Plateau over incessant k!llings

Protests erupted in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Monday morning over the continued killings of indigenous residents by gunmen suspected to be Fulani militants.
The demonstrations, led by Christian leaders including the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Polycarp Lubo, commenced on Monday morning at the Fawvwei Junction community road, causing a heavy gridlock and stranding commuters.
The latest protest comes amid a surge in violent attacks by gunmen in various communities, with over 100 people killed in Bokkos and Bassa LGAS in the past two weeks.
“We are not happy over the continuous attacks and killings by gunmen in our communities. That’s why we have come out again to protest these happenings,” said Gyang Dalyop, one of the protesters.
Another protester, Hannatu Philip, called on the government to intervene before it spirals out of control.
The protesters brandishing placards with different inscriptions were seen marching towards the Rayfield Government House.

Tinubu not your equal – Presidency replies Peter Obi’s ex-running mate, Datti

The Presidency has said the former Labour Party, LP, presidential running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed is no match for President Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare was reacting to Datti’s remark that he (Tinubu) would not run for the presidency in 2027.
The former LP running mate insisted that Tinubu’s time is up, adding that everything is there for the president and the ruling All Progressives Party, APC, to see that they lose in 2027.
Dismissing such remark, Dare likened Datti’s comment to the new year predictions of charlatan ‘prophets’ which never come through.
In a statement he signed, Dare said the likes of Peter Obi and Datti would have been president left for the latter’s theories.
According to Dare, Datti has chosen to venture into an unfamiliar terrain.
The statement reads partly: “Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed’s “illogical logic” was all over the place in his recent interview with a television channel.
“Listening to Yusuf Datti Baba- Ahmed spurn his postulations about the political future of Nigeria and that of the incumbent President is like listening to the new year predictions of charlatan ‘prophets’ which never come through. Yusuf Baba Ahmed and his co-traveller Peter Obi are indeed a “double whammy“ in the Nigerian political space.
“He chose to base his political calculations on President Bola Tinubu not winning a second term given his antecedents and because Nigerians will decide at the polls among other things. He conveniently avoided the substance of performance and capacity.
“Unfortunately, he chose to walk into a lane he was unfamiliar with and chose to confront a politician he is no match for.”
Similarly, the Presidency had also stressed that Tinubu will reveal his plans for a second term at the right time.
It said the APC 2027 presidential campaign billboards had no links to Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
