Instead of the boy to face his studies and focus on passing his exams, he is already sabotaging government facilities.
Same people that will still complain of low power supply, they are stiill the same people sabotaging the little that has been provided.

why are you people quick to judge? What if the guy was there to switch their line to the one that ha power in it? (though that does not give him the right to climb the pole in the first, neither does it make him a hoodlum) Thank God he survived!

And why are the officers holding each arm without gloves or some sort of protection against infection? Before I get crucified, I know infection is not what the vandal would be worried about, @ the point of arrest !!!
NB: just an observation

FYI, something becomes a crime in Nigeria when another person is the perpetrator. But if you are the one doing it, it becomes normal.

jamp: MAKURDI — A 16-year-old boy, Terseer Iorparegh, was yesterday caught stuck in a high tension cable while attempting to vandalize the PHCN cable along Naka road in Makurdi.

Vanguard gathered from the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Gabriel Suswam on Public Utilities, Mr. Gaddafi Asemanya who was at the scene said residents of the area were woken up by shout of help from the young man around 2.am on Thursday only to behold the teenager hanging between the high tension cable after he had suffered shock and first degree burns

Asemanya said the teenager who had removed the lower cable climbed the PHCN pole to vandalize the upper cable when his leg touched a line which caused a spark and fire which spread over his body while he persistently shouted for help.

According to the governor’s aide, “vandalism of PHCN property has become a serious issue in Benue State, in the last one year. I have apprehended over 30 vandals, while some were prosecuted many of these persons were set free because PHCH has no legal team to ensure the prosecution of these suspects”, he said.
He explained that the residents had wanted to lynch the vandal but for his quick intervention and assistance by men of the fire service, the police and officers and men of the civil defence corps who were on hand to assist recover the vandal.

The Special Assitant further disclosed that the suspect was receiving medical attention at the Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi where he lied critically ill with no one coming to identify him.
Reacting, PHCN spokesman, Uche Oranya who appreciated the prompt action of the residents of the area, as well as that of the governor’s aide called on security operatives to ensure adequate safeguard of PHCN facilities in the state.

Aren't u part of the system? We all are! Why haven't u decided to go looting? My dear, stealing is an act that reveals itself through an individual's state of mind. Serves him right!

1) Boy steals power cables and sells them to people who will reuse them (it's cheaper).

2) Boy steals power cables, street light poles, metal guard rails (from bridges), etc and sells them to people who will melt the metal and convert it to ear rings, bangles, etc.

Basically, he would have sold the cables if he had succeeded.

@ 16, he should be reasonable enough to know the reactions to his actions!...We were all 16 at a time and faced various forms of hardship...but I doubt if any one of us attempted to climb up a PHCN pole, let alone vandalize it!
