A senior staff of the AEDC who visited the scene of the incident said “this is why we always appeal to our consumers to always protect their transformers.

“If the vandal had made away with the cable, the whole area would have been plunged into darkness for days.

“If all our installations are well secured, this money would have been spent on buying new equipment and ensuring regular power supply.”
