He mentioned that the outage was caused by the activities of vandals on the 330/132 kilo Volt (KV) Gwagwalada/Kukwaba line.
He, however, 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 backfeed customers from Apo.
Fadipe apologized to the customers for the disruption.
He assured that electricity supply would be restored once the fault was resolved.
