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.
Some supporters have urged President Pierre Nkurunziza to stand again in June's election although he has not commented on his intentions.Opponents say such a move would violate the constitution,and even some ruling party official have asked him not to run.Protesters were shouting ''We won't let him run again''.Protesters took shelter in shops or buildings after the teargas was thrown before regrouping again.Some of the protesters hurled stones at the police.Rain later help disperse them.Opposition parties are discussing uniting behind a single candidate to improve their chances of defeating President Nkurunziza third term ambition.He took over office in 2005 after 12 years of civil conflict.He has served two terms,and the constitution and the peace deal that ended that war both stipulate that no one should be president for longer than 10 years.The president's supporters argued that his first term should not count since he was picked by law makers rather than voted in.They should screem change in President Nkurunziza's ear.More photos below.
