Maiduguri In Darkness After ISWAP Blew Up High Tension Electricity Lines

Sad news from Borno State in Northeast Nigeria says more than four high tension towers that supply electricity from Damaturu to Maiduguri were blown off again by suspected members of Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters Friday night.

The incident happened in Garin Kuturu village, which is about two kilometers away from Auno.

According to the report, the act started around 7 pm and lasted up to 10 pm.

An eyewitness said four towers are already on the ground while the fifth one is about to fall down.

Residents have described the development as a pity.

For 10 months they suffered lack of electricity supply in the city of Maiduguri.
