The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on Thursday refuted claims it is responsible for the power outage in several parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

The statement follows a claim by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), which blamed the outage in areas such as Dilic Hotel, Prime Plaza, Exclusive Stores, Gilmore, Takwa Crescent, and Former Zartech in the FCT on a “technical fault” from the TCN.

However, TCN dismissed the report in a statement issued by TCN spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah.
