Another power failure struck early Saturday for the third time in a week, plunging many states into darkness.

Persecondnews recalls that the grid tripped off on Monday and on Tuesday when it was being restored.

At the time of reporting, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), responsible for managing the national grid, has yet to release a statement regarding the latest collapse.
Details shortly…
