Bandits threaten destruction of Shiroro dam – Official

The Regional Manager of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Engineer Maiwada Sarki Bello, has raised concerns about bandits threatening the Shiroro dam in Niger state.
He stated this while addressing the press in the TCN Shiroro region of Niger State.
