It was a mourning afternoon for the people of Ikorodu who witnessed the electrocution of a painter who was contracted alongside his brother to re-paint the Lagos Road Branch of First Bank Nigeria Plc,Ikorordu,Lagos State.

I was just about 10 stone-throw away from where the ugly incident happened. His leg slipped from the ladder and as he was struggling to get his balance he had a contact with the high tension wire behind him,fell and died instantly. His elder brother,who has been doing the job for the bank,was thrown about 10 houses away because he was holding the ladder on the ground.

As at the time of writing this report,there was a mass protest as believed that the bank officials did not react immediately to the event.

RIP to the dead!

WoW sad..

May he rest in perfect peace
