The inferno occurred at vandalised pipeline on Isheri Olofin, off Igbando-LASU Expressway and it caused massive damage to the 330KV Ikeja-West Akangba Transmission Line 1. “The transmission towers affected are the two closest to the site of the inferno and three across the Lagos Canal. Mbah stated also that TCN would rearrange bulk electricity transmitted on that line route to the second 330kv line previously carrying 59mw. “Once it is energised, supply will be restored to all the substations affected by the incident from the second 330kv transmission line. “Load carried by the burnt 330kv line will now be transferred to the second line,’’ she also explained.
