The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company has reported a widespread power outage affecting several parts of the Federal Capital Territory due to a technical fault on the feeders supplying the areas.

This latest blackout adds to the series of power disruptions experienced in the FCT in recent months.
In April, several communities suffered outages following a system failure.
In January, supply was disrupted due to the relocation of transmission towers by the Federal Capital Development Authority, while in December 2024, a maintenance exercise by the Transmission Company of Nigeria led to another round of outages.
