ABAKALIKI-A nine year old
boy, Master Chinedu
Nwangwu of
Echara community in Ezza
South Local government
area of Ebonyi state
was weekend electrocuted
when he tried to pluck fruits
from a Cashew tree in the
area.
Vanguard gathered that the
victim, a pupil of Echara
community primary school in
Ezza South LGA who lost his
life on the fateful day,
climbed a cashew tree
without knowing that one of
the branches of the tree
was resting on a high tension
wire that supplied electricity
to the community.
Lamenting over the incident,
mother of the deceased,
Mrs. Nwangwu who was
filled with pains when she
saw the lifeless body of her
son, stated that similar
incident also led to the
demise of one of her sons.
As the family of the
deceased are still battling
with the loss of their son,
Mrs. Nwangwu attributed
the incident to the activities
of some spiritual forces that
were beyond her control.
“I should blame my God for
allowing me to live in the
land of the living without my
son. It is not up to three
years I lost one of my boys
to motor accident and today
again, it is another
calamity; wouldn’t it be
better if I cease to live as life
is becoming useless without
my children” She lamented.
One of the teachers of
Echara community primary
school who spoke with our
correspondent, attributed
the misfortune that befell
the family of the deceased to
lack of proper home training
adding that if the boy was
well tutored by his parents
he wouldn’t have climbed
the cashew tree in the first
place.
According to the teacher,
the school authority had
earlier directed the pupils
not to climb any tree or
pluck any fruits in the
school without the consent
of the school authority.
Sources close to the family
revealed the deceased boy
had since been buried.
