Lasaka Habila, Policeman Electrocuted In Abuja While Cutting Tree by Louisojibe(m): 12:57am On Jun 08, 2020
Chief Superintendent of Police, Lasaka Habila, has been electrocuted in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The deceased was said to be cutting branches of a tree opposite the National Intelligence Agency, Garki, in Nigeria's capital when the incident happened.

Idriss Abbas, Director-General, FCT Emergency Management Agency, announced Habila’s death in a statement on Sunday.

Abbas advised Abuja residents to always seek approval from the Parks and Recreation Department before cutting any tree.

He added that in the rainy season, most trees would bloom and come in contact with electricity cables, which may transmit high currents through leaves and branches.

The statement reads, “At the scene of the tragedy was a cutlass seen lying around the tree after the incident said to have been used by the victim to cut down branches from the tree which were seen littered around the scene.

“It is also believed that the victim may have been electrocuted by a high voltage from the high tension wire close to the tree.

“The victim who was seen stuck on the tree was eventually brought down by the Search and Rescue team of FEMA.”

That CSP was unenlightened!
RIP tho!
But didn't he see the cables run over the tree?
Na wetin make i dey avoid trees wey dey under HT and LT cables, one for my area like that the branches joined with the HT cable, rain com dey fall ontop. Oboy i jejely cross to the other lane, FG should set up a taskforce to checkmate these overgrowing trees under powerlines.
But a whole Csp was that jobless to carry knife and climb a tree? were there no constables and corporals at his disposal to do the job?

Nigerians will never read! Somebody even said up there that "I wish him quick recovery".......... O ma se ooo. undecided

Back to the story, I'm still thinking about what made a CSP to be cutting down trees. undecided Don't they have people contracted to do that for them. Even if they don't have people who are contracted to do that, wouldn't he have sent his junior associates who could have done it when it was not raining at all?

Well, the deed is done and there's a kind of mystery surrounding the incident. cry

May his soul rest in peace!

Modified:

I don't know what to do to Nigerians who lack comprehension...... Chai!
Before quoting me unnecessarily, open your eyes, read carefully and comprehend!

I wouldn't wish death on a fellow human being like me, never! However, there are companies/people who are awarded this kind of contract to fell trees and they are meant to do that strictly when it's safe to do it and they take necessary precautions before doing this kind of a job because it's their field of expertise.

The late officer's junior colleagues could have been assigned to do that (since it's a government thing and they might not be able to hire contractors) "when it was not raining at all" and when it's safe to do that.

Safety is the paramount thing here!
