Nigerian Govt Threatens Total Blackout in Imo State Over Abduction of Workers
The Nigerian government, through the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO), has issued a threat to disconnect Imo State from the national grid due to the abduction of its workers at gunpoint. The workers were allegedly taken by armed individuals acting on behalf of the Imo State government.
The incident involved an invasion of the Egbu 132/33kV transmission substation, prompting NISO to consider shutting down the electricity supply if the workers are not released. Imo State government has not officially responded to or denied the reported incident, raising serious concerns about the safety of the workers and the stability of the power supply in the region.
