VANDAL CRUSHED TO DEATH UNDER COLLAPSED TRANSMISSION TOWER IN DELTA STATE A suspected vandal has been crushed to death under a collapsed vandalised transmission tower along the 330kV Ughelli-Benin transmission line in Delta State. The incident was discovered during a line patrol carried out by the Delta Sub-Region, Lines Maintenance Department of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), following the tripping of the line on earth fault on the Ughelli - Benin 330kV Transmission line. A statement by the TCN indicates that the patrol team traced the fault to Tower 101, which had collapsed. The body of the suspected vandal was found crushed between the tower members. Tower 101 on the adjacent Ughelli - Sapele 330kV transmission line had also been vandalized.
According to Ahmat Negat,spokesman for Muslim Seleka rebels,said today that at least 25 people have died in a collapse at a gold mine,60 km north of the Central African Republic town of Bam Bari.The mine is originally owned by Canada's Axmin but was overrun by rebels more than a year ago and it now forms part of an illicit economy driving sectarian conflict in the country.The incident happened yesterday thursday but they are suspecting it was 27 artisan miners that were buried i the collapsed mine,but only 25 bodies were retrieved.According to Georges Yacinth Oubaouba,a senior official in the ministry of mines said ''Nobody from our service is on the ground to regulate the miners,so they dug without any rules,lower than 3 meters which got dangerous and with the rain,there can be collapses.
