Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) Wednesday  raised the alarm over the rising 
cases of vandalism of various electricity equipment in its Distribution Network, 
especially in Wuse and other parts of the Abuja City Centre, in Nigeria's capital city.
In a press  statement. Ahmed I Shekarau, AEDC's Head, Public Relations and Media
stated  that no fewer than 10 different power 
system equipment were vandalized and in most cases carted away by unknown  persons in less than one week in Wuse area under its FCT Central Region.

 The statement listed some of the wrecked power systems to include a feeder pillar  which was vandalized and taken away from No.2, Bangui Street, Wuse II; the low  voltage side of two transformers which were vandalized along Monrovia Street, also in  Wuse II, with all the bus bars, feeder pillar units and low voltage cables taken away by  the vandals.

 The statement said further that a feeder pillar was completely disconnected and taken  away along Durban Street, Wuse II; while approximately 3 x 150mm2 XLPE cable of an  11KV transformer on Sheraton Hotel feeder was vandalized in the early hours of  Saturday, 20th February, 2016.

 AEDC revealed further that in the early hours of Tuesday, 23rd February, 2016, vandals  removed two feeder pillars, one around OAU Quarters (behind AP Plaza) in Wuse II,  and another along Blantyre Street also in Wuse II, and made away with both equipment.
