Mr Abdulsalam said the vandalised 330KVA conveyed electricity from Gombe to Yobe and Maiduguri.

The special adviser said the destruction of the tower left residents of Yobe and Damaturu in blackout.

He said the state government in collaboration with Sector 2, Operation Hadin Kai, and Yola Electricity Distribution Company, YEDC, were making efforts to restore normal electricity supply in the state.
