From Timothy Olanrewaju, Maiduguri

Electricity supply to Borno has again been cut following an attack on a facility by Boko Haram, the third in a chain of attacks on power facilities by the insurgents in two months.

Sources say the insurgents planted explosives around electricity towers at the outskirts of Maiduguri early Saturday. The explosion destroyed some high tension wires, multiple security sources told Daily Sun.

Efforts to confirm the power situation from the Maiduguri office of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) did not yield any result as the reporter was told at the gate ‘no official was available.’

Electricity supply to Maiduguri and its environs was restored on Thursday after seven weeks of total black-out

Electricity supply to the state was cut off on January 26 after Boko Haram destroyed two electricity towel along Maiduguri -Damaturu highway.

TCN technical staff had barely reinstalled the towel mid-February when more towers collapsed. It was not clear if Boko Haram explosives were also responsible but efforts to reinstall them again were frustrated by the insurgents. The technicians had stepped on IEDs, a development which put works on the electricity on hold until Thursday when power was eventually restored.

    Maiduguri must be liberated from the bondage of fulani caliphate with its emirates- either way. The more than 200 years fraud called fulani caliphate with its emirates has come to an end in which only northern natives will be traditional rulers, religious leaders, political office holders etc. over their God given native lands under their sovereign states. No fulani will be a traditional ruler, religious leader, political office holders etc. in the north. Fulani criminals who are foreigners from Guinea and are not up to 0.1% population of the north.

    The way defeated British bandits find their way back to Britain in 1960, so also must defeated fulani criminals find their way back to Guinea- dead or alive in this 2021. Only the Sword decides.
