The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has confirmed the cutting off of power supply to Niger republic.
TUC Kano State sub-region Public Relations Officer, Adam Umar El-yandiski, confirmed the news to Newsmen via phone call.
According to him, the connection that supplies power to Niger Republic comes directly from the national grid, therefore it has no connection with the supply of power to any region in the country.
The move was part of pressure on the country’s coup leaders.
Meanwhile, West Africa’s regional bloc on Wednesday said a military intervention in junta-ruled Niger was “the last resort”.
As ex-colonial power France sent in a fifth plane to evacuate its citizens, coup leader General Abdourahamane Tiani insisted they had no reason to quit the country.
