I fear ELECTRICITY like ....

To change a bulb sef, i dey fear. Some women say it's not sexy to be handy around the house, but

my life is more important. I don't give a shit...i call an electrician for the least electrical fault.

Imagine, even NEPA/PHCN/DISCO officials get electrocuted on a regular basis

the electric is your house has a low voltage to instantly shock a full grown man Dead unless it is triggered by the water factor which is a good conductor of electricity

Power was restored? By whom? That’s some seriously flawed communication right there

No occupational hazard protection plans and policies in naija. You touch high tension wires with bare hands, no protective gears with the hope power won't be restored. His family should sue BEDC for his death over lack of provision of protective wears and tools.

jamah, shey e gbor radarada ti eleyi nsor?

Another possible cause of his electrocution is the use of aluminum ladder instead of a wooden or fibreglass ladder as seen in the picture. Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity. I can also assure you that the base of that ladder is not insulated thereby exposing the user to direct contact with the ground which act as neutral.

That was no stealing bruv. Twas an official assignment.

Wonder why the light was restored. Guess there was no proper communication.

I think it says illegal, hence they had no clue of power coming back

Hmmm..Not Good at all....

Protective wears and tools is the least of the worries here
Hazards and saferty policies do exist but most prefer to adopt the Naija approach the “God will protect me policy” “ the village people protection policy” and the “ I don’t know and I never want to know policy”
How many employers actually care about Health and Safety and how many employees make an effort to know?
This man’s death is a travesty but disregard for human life is rife in this country.

Point of correction. The voltage of electricity in your house is the same as the one on the pole. Both can kill anybody instantly. The difference between them is the size of cable through which they are traveling. Don't underestimate or over familiarize yourself with the one in house. Never make that mistake.

No communication at all, too bad.

If you want to advise some people about safety first they will tell you that they have been doing it since before you were born. I once saw a guy climbing mask with nothing to protect him because to him he's a Pro.

A 43-year-old man suspected to be a staff of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, has died while disconnecting all illegal connections in the Olori area of Ughelli, Delta State.
The deceased identified as Theophilus, was called by his boss to carry out the assignment. However, power was restored while still trying to effect the disconnection, thus leading to his instant death. https://www.pressnewsng.com.ng/2018/03/man-electrocuted-while-disconnecting.html?m=1

I met this guy during my short stay in ughelli I can say he was an awesome guy. Very down to earth, funny n extremely hardworking. The most reliable PHCN staff I have ever met n will ever meet. A great lost to the parliament

My friend Shutup voltage on the pole is 415 which is stepped down to just 220v for indoors

Keep quiet and stop disgracing yourself here. The pole we are talking about here is the one that carries power to every home and it is usually 220-230 volts and it is known know as low voltage line. It gets its supply from transformer. If 415 volts is sent into your apartment how do you step it down. Maybe your China made stabilzer I think. Instead of asking question to learn you are here messing your self.

This guy was assasinated by his co-workers!!

It’s simple, there is something fishy about his office! Firstly, he was called by his boss for an official assignment!

Secondly, power was restored while he was on the job! His boss should be arrested with immediate effect!

I concur

Tell me about it. One colleague caused an infection everytime he did sutures on a patient so rather than argue with him because like you mentioned “ I was doing this before you were born” is the regular defence so to avoid issues it was easier to just redo the sutures without telling him.

Thank u, he is working for benin electric

The simple yet most effective safety control measure to prevent this incident is a LOCK OUT TAG OUT procedure, in addition to a permit to work system.

That is unprofessional if he use bare hands on cables without insulated hand gloves not a good idea @ all. Maybe he use the insulated hand gloves but had body contact with a naked cable on the pole when power was restored. God knows what really happened. RIP

Let those women go and ask if Dangote changes light bulbs or starts the generator. If you have the money to hire help, do so. Who handy help?

See this muturu when 2 live wires are tested u will get roughly 415volts.but the household voltage is abt. 230volts. U r a Gud engineering student. Bt with a zero practical knowledge. Mumu ask n ye shall learn

My dear, don't say what you don't know its technicality.
If actually it was an official assignment and the guy knew safety aspect of the assignment, he would not have died. Was he with his PPE kit? Another option, he would have deloaded the feeder pillar's unit of the transformer that powered the LT of the network that he climbed. Whether Nepa restored light or took the light, nothing would have happened to him.
