Rivers: Amaechi’s wife’s driver electrocuted

The Rivers State Government House was thrown into a mourning mood on Saturday following the shocking death of one of the security drivers to Dame Judith Amaechi, wife of Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

The deceased, Ibiba Jack, in his early forties, was electrocuted while trying to rescue another staff of the Government House who was trapped in a naked wire while mowing the grass on sanitation day.

Witnesses said Ibiba used his leg to disentangle the man who was already struggling with a current from a naked wire which entrapped the mower blade that he was using to cut the grass, but unknown to him, he was already standing on a live wire which got him electrocuted instantly.

Confirming the sad incident, the Chief of Staff, Rivers State Government House, Chief Tony Okocha who described the death of the convoy driver as “unfortunate” attributed the cause to “carelessness”.

That's very sad. He was brave. RIP.

Would he have rescued the staff if he had known there was an "unclad" wire nearby?

So who are they calling careless, the deceased? If so I'ld say it is a rather insensitive statement

So that is all you can say about the issue...? Anyway me I'm not a superman in nature, so I could just stand like 5yrds back and shout for the supermen like the driver to come.

Hope nor be 'ritual' o?

Sadly it appears like an insensitive fact.

However instaed of looking at it from the angle of carelessness, I'd rather look at it as selflessness. He literally sacrificed his own life to save someone else.

Some times i wonder wat will unclad wire be doing in government house,so even in government house safety is a secondary issue? The works department should be held responsible for poor installation!so if it were to be the Governor's relative will the chief of staff attribute it to carelesness? Safety first!

He was my former neighbour
