Two women, married to the same man, died after both of them unknowingly touched a rope connected to an electric cable.
The incident happened on Thursday in Tungan-Wakili, Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State, located few kilometres from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The first wife initially got electrocuted when she went to spread a cloth on the rope, .
The husband to the deceased women, Umaru Sadau, a ward head in the area, told City News that the incident happened after his first wife, Hajara, went to spread a cloth she used in draining water in the house, after a rainfall.
The husband, who could not explain how electricity current reached the rope, added that his second wife, Salamatu, rushed to the scene to rescue Hajara, having watched her fell.
Salamatu, whose neck, he said, touched the rope, died instantly while, Hajara, whom, he added, touched the rope with her two hands, died some minutes later, before she could be taken to hospital.
Sadau said that his late wives left behind five children.

Such a tragedy... May God protect us all. In this life, one can never be too careful.

Its a pity. Imagine two wives that love each other dieing. Unlike other polygamous home

Until Nigerians take the issue of safety as paramount, there will continue to be avoidable deaths like this.
We do things that will make the oyinbos that invented all the technologies, cringe in fear!
I just read about a transformer that exploded and burnt a young girl.
And the story above?
How on earth will someone hang a wet cloth on a live wire?
Or even tie a laundry rope to a live wire?
Is that not suicide?

Sad.....very sad.

Here is what to do if you are in that situation ........

Do not touch a person who is in a live circuit.

Disconnect the power supply as soon as possible.

Outside, you can use a wooden stick to push the accident victim off a wire only if you are sure it is a low voltage network. If you are not sure what type of network it is, call 112 and wait for help.

There is a danger of electric shock in a radius of eight metres from the place where a medium voltage network wire touches the ground; in damp conditions, for example if it is raining or if the grass is wet, the dangerous area is larger and can be up to 20 metres.

If there is an accident indoors you can use long dry wooden objects like a broomstick or a stool leg as insulators.

If people get hurt in an electrical accident, call the (local) emergency number immediately. When you have called for an ambulance and removed the person from the live circuit, give as much first aid as you can.

She didn't know that the first wife was electrified. She only saw her fall. If she knew it was electricity she wouldn't go close. But trying to help at all is good.
