A student of the Rivers State University was yesterday electrocuted by a high tension cable of the PHED somewhere around the school campus. The student - a female whose body was found lying lifeless close to the schools main gate shuttle park died while trying to move across an erosion after a heavy rain that started in the early hours of Tuesday.

According to Victor Briggs, "the erosion she was trying to get across had a high tension wire in it as a result of a pole that fell yesterday (Monday 12th), the Deceased had no idea there was a wire in the water."

It was also gathered that men of the PHED was contacted on Monday, the day the electric pole fell but all efforts to get them address the situation had seem fruitless.

According to reports, the total number of reported students death cases on campus has been summed up to three (3) since the beginning of the semester in the Rivers State University, Port Harcourt.

The ZOO will never get things right ...I have lived in Ghana for almost 3 years and never seen an electric wire dangling or pole down after a heavy rain...and they also use armored cable which aids better flow of electric current and prevents any damage to wires leading to sparks


Happy now @victorazy

My heart just broke

RIP.

PHED should be held responsible for this


Rip to the dead..

too bad

The number of 'avoidable' deaths that happens everyday in Nigeria is worrisome, its time the power company starts paying very heavy fines and their officials going to jail for poor management of power lines.........

Nigeria: killing its young

may her soul rest in peace...amen

May untimely death never be our portion.

RIP young girl

I HATE ELECTRIC

The devil is a Liar!

One minute we're hurrying around our business, and the next we could be dead.
How sad, especially as this could have been avoided.

May she rest in eternal peace, and condolences to her family.

Largely negligence of duties
