Residents of Imo State have been thrown into darkness after a team of police operatives allegedly invaded Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, station in the area. The incident occurred today, Saturday, at the Egbu Power station in Imo State.
A statement signed by the Management of Transpower Electricity Distribution Limited, a subsidiary of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company Ltd., said a TCN staff was assaulted during the reported invasion.
The statement reads, “The management of Transpower Electricity Distribution Limited wishes to inform her esteemed customers in Imo State of a total shutdown of power supply which occurred earlier today, Saturday, 15th November 2025, at about 10.20am.
“This development was carried out by armed men of the Nigerian Police Force who invaded the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) station at Egbu and assaulted the Operator on duty along with other staff present, forcing them to shut down power supply – a situation that threw the entire Imo State into darkness.
“Transpower appeals to its esteemed customers to be patient as it is on standby awaiting restoration of supply. The company assures customers of its commitment to continue delivering improved services.”
As of the time of filing this report, it is unclear the reason for the alleged action by police operatives as no statement has come from the Imo State Police Command.
