The Transmission Company of Nigeria power plant located at Ring Road in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital is currently on fire.
Security agents, firefighters and other residents are trying to battle the inferno.
The cause of the fire and the extent of damage is yet to be ascertained as at the time of this report on Wednesday.
