Arepo Community Faces Power Outage Due to TCN Fault

Electricity supply in Arepo, located in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, has been disrupted following a fault caused by a shattered insulator at the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). Akinlolu Akinpelumi, Secretary of the Arepo Area Community Development Council Electricity Committee, stated that residents are waiting for the TCN maintenance crew to complete repairs before Ikeja Electric can restore power.

Akinpelumi expressed hope that the TCN engineers would resolve the issue promptly. He assured residents that the committee would monitor the situation and communicate updates.

This outage adds to ongoing complaints from Arepo residents about inconsistent electricity supply and prolonged blackouts, with previous reports indicating that residents threatened legal action over a four-month period of severe outages. The community has engaged with Ikeja Electric regarding inadequate supply, which has disrupted businesses and daily activities.
