Suspected Boko Haram militants cut power to Yobe State after destroying electrical equipment in Katarko village within the Gujba local government area. The Yobe Electricity Distribution Company restored service in Damaturu and surrounding areas through backup systems while coordinating with the Transmission Company of Nigeria for full-grid repairs. Maiduguri Metropolitan City continues receiving electricity from the Maiduguri Emergency Power Plant.
The utility asked citizens to alert law enforcement or company offices about suspicious behavior near power facilities. No person or group has accepted blame for the attack, which mirrors earlier assaults attributed to Boko Haram fighters. State residents must adjust to frequent service disruptions as infrastructure attacks persist across the region.
