The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said power supply disruption recently experienced in parts of Benin City and environs was because a two meter snake trapped in transformer T23 at the Benin switchyard.
It said the snake put Nekpennekpen, Ikpoba dam and Akoko feeders out of power supply.
A press statement signed by TCN Public Affairs Manager, Elder Rufus Imafidon said normal power supply have been restored to the affected areas and expressed regrets over inconveniences caused by the power interruption.
Elder Rufus said the inauguration of a 3x33KV feeders at Ajaokuta 132/33KV transmission sub-station has helped to improved power supply to all parts of Kogi State.
He said the facility was constructed and installed at a cost of N60m.
The statement added that only Lokoja and Anyigba feeders were on ground before the installation of the 3x33KV feeders.
