Calabar, Cross River State – The Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Plc (PHED) has attributed the power outage in Calabar, Cross River State capital, to a heavy wind storm.

Converseer reports that there was torrential rain with heavy wind and thunderstorms on Saturday night and Sunday morning that wreaked havoc in Calabar, destroying properties worth millions of Naira.

In a public announcement on Sunday, the PHED said the torrential rain also affected electric poles, leading to the power blackout faced by the city.

“We wish to inform our esteemed customers in Calabar that the outage currently experienced is as a result of a heavy wind storm that damaged many poles in our network.
