    Residents of Kebbi, Kaduna States, and surrounding areas are currently experiencing a widespread power outage following a disruption on the Kainji–Birnin Kebbi transmission line.

    Kaduna Electric confirmed the situation in a statement posted on its official X account on Thursday, May 8, 2025, attributing the outage to the collapse of three transmission towers near Yauri town.

    The statement read:
    “Outage on 330KV Kainji–Birnin Kebbi Line. We sincerely wish to apologize to our esteemed customers in Birnin Kebbi for the outage currently being experienced.
    The outage is due to the collapse of three transmission towers near Yauri town.
    The TCN team is working diligently to rectify the issue. Normal power supply will be restored as soon as possible.
    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.”

    This incident marks yet another disruption along the 330kV Kainji–Birnin Kebbi line, which has suffered multiple trips since 2024, highlighting ongoing instability in the region’s power infrastructure.
