There was a fire outbreak at Dan’agundi transmission stations which is one of the major electricity transmission stations in Kano state.
The inferno was said to have affected the high-performance capacity transformers as responders were yet to reach the area as of the time of filing this report.

However, Daily Telescope reliably gathered that while two transformers have been affected, there were two others; one in service and one yet to be commissioned are in good condition.

It was further confirmed that the incident will not stop electricity transmission since one of the transformers is still working.
The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained as several efforts to contact the Head, Corporate Communication Unit of the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), Sani Bala Sani failed as his phone was switched off.
