There are two possibilities :
1. Sloths fall asleep at odd positions and times and especially in daylight.
2. It got electrocuted after climbing up

You are quite capable of making these deductions yourself undecided

this is not Bush Baby ooo it's is called sloth

Sloths are mammals classified in the families Megalonychidae (two-toed sloths) and Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths). There are six extant species of sloths. They are named after the capital sin of sloth because they seem slow and lazy at first glance; however, their usual idleness is due to metabolic adaptations for conserving energy.

the cliche is getting overly annoying,
is it only electric pole that can catch witch
apparently the so called "witches" have the power to transform to animals, launch IBAs(Intercontinental Ballistic Arrows) to people on other continents, and other fascinating balderdash and poppycock......
but then their great weakness, the bane of their existence is NEPA POLE
we need to discard this Nollywood mentality abeg
I swear.

It's the African version of the Koala, but I have forgotten what the actual name is. This particular specie is very common in Nigerian tropical forests, it feeds and lives on bamboo trees. Nothing strange here, go find your witches elsewhere.

its called a potto

The potto ( Perodicticus potto ) is a
strepsirrhineprimate of the family
Lorisidae. It is the only species in the genus Perodicticus. It is also known as Bosman's potto , after Willem Bosman who described the species in 1704..

Those who don't know will say anything but we know ourslves in Naija.

This is not the first time an animal has been trapped in a high tension cable in this same Benin. The other time an old woman was found sitting on top of a roof.

Our elders say a child does not know jazz and he calls it vegetable.
Believe it or not 'na dem'

Thank you sir. That's a sloth aka 'bushbaby'.
The educational system has truly failed this nation.
But come to think of it,sloth is the slowest animal ever and it doesnt fly. The question now is how did it get to the top of the pole?

Africans especially Nigerians are brain dead ignoramus. linking every occurrence as spiritual.
I think the mods should put up the link to that post you put up there in the front page to educate Nigerians
Sloths can really be great climbers and probably the pic below from your link explains clearly what happens

Sloths Sometimes, use electric lines to migrate out of the jungle into dangerous cities shocked (this line in that link is prophetic)

My point is, they all climb. And if that pole is made of wood a leopard can climb it.

Naarh...
that pole is too "upright" 4 a leopard 2 climb. apart 4rm dat, it's weight as opposed to that of a monkey or a snake, wud make it extremely difficult 4 it 2 pull itself.

i doubt pandas can evn climb poles sef.
they're extremely heavy!!!
