Daily Report Nigeria reports that this news was announced on the agency’s X handle and confirmed by Emmanuel Akpa, the General Manager of TCN’s Port Harcourt Region.

According to Akpa, vandals’ destruction of the towers caused a great disruption to Bayelsa State’s electricity supply and resulted in substantial financial losses for TCN.
