A 72-year-old man, identified as AbdulRasheed AbdulQuadri was electrocuted to death while going back home from the jumat service at the Central Mosque on Humani Street, Bajulaiye in Shomolu, Lagos on Friday and the PHCN officials were held responsible for his death.

According to reports from residents around the area, AbdulQuadri was trying to cross the gutter in front of his house when he was electrocuted when he was said to have touched the iron bar of a mini-goal post (popularly known as monkey post) that was close to a nearby electric pole.

The electrocution was caused when a PHCN official had previously disconnected a line and left it lying around without informing residents of the area.

One of the neighbors, who witnessed what happened, told Sunday Sun: “When he fell we rushed to see what was wrong with him. That was when we noticed the electric cable coiled around the monkey post.

At that point, we realized that Baba had been electrocuted. And it was dangerous for anyone to go and touch him.” Residents disclosed that IKEDC had, on Monday, July 2, conducted mass disconnection exercise in the neighborhood.

Many of them alleged that the technical staff of IKEDC, who carried out the exercise did not properly secure the wires after the disconnections.

Oh, what a painful death! The way Nigerians ignore hazards but in other hand celebrate mediocrity, is too alarming.
