The tragic event claimed the life of an NSCDC officer in addition to destroying the three towers. We are having yet another incredibly depressing day at TCN, in this occurrence, particularly in light of the NSCDC official’s death.

TCN expresses its sympathies to the NSCDC and the deceased’s family for this tragic and upsetting situation, Mbah stated.

Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert specializing in the Lake Chad region, stated in a post on his verified X handle on Friday that the security officer, who went by the name Nurudeen, passed away as a result of stepping on a little electrical line while examining the vandalized electricity tower.

“The Nigerian Civil Defence personnel, Nurudeen, paid the supreme price as a result of the bomb explosion which brought (down) three power towers along Jakana-Auno in the early hours of today, 28/12/2023,” Makama wrote in a series of posts that included a photo of the deceased at the scene of the incident.

“This was the final image of Nurudeen, the member of the NSCDC who defused explosives at the location of the stolen electrical tower. I believe it was the trigger because, if you examine closely, there was a tiny line that crossed the path and was connected to both the left and right components,” the man continued.
