The 330 kilovolt (kV) facility in Birnin-Kebbi was reportedly engulfed in the inferno, though the immediate cause has yet to be disclosed. The incident comes barely 24 hours after a national electricity grid collapse resulting from a fire outbreak.
There was a fire incident at the Transmission Company of Nigeria transmission substation in Birnin-Kebbi, Kebbi State, on Thursday night.
The spokesperson for the Kebbi State Police Command, Nafiu Abubakar, confirmed the incident to Channels Television on Friday.
Abubakar however said he did not have details of the incident at the time and referred our correspondent to the TCN for more information on the possible causes of the fire.
However, efforts to reach TCN were unsuccessful.
