Footballer Electrocuted At Betting Shop In Lagos by Flakkysultan(m): 9:31am On Jul 05, 2020 |
One Taiwo Akinlusi,
popularly known as Sir Tee
among his football fans
meet his untimely death on
Saturday, when his head
mistakenly touched a naked
wire when he was coming
down from the staircase of
a plaza where he went to
play football betting at Ile-
Epo bus stop, Ejigbo.
An eyewitness, Mr. Abiodun
Adaranijo, who spoke to
DAILY POST, explained that
while coming down the
stairs after betting at the
plaza, the unsuspecting
deceased had touched a
naked wire dangling with
his head.
Adaranijo said he (the
deceased) would have bent
his head to avoid the wire
but he did not take note of
the clumsy dangling wires.
According to Adaranijo, it
was not the first time
Akinlusi would pass
through the staircase and
bypass the wire even on
that fateful, due to his
hurriedness to go back
home after placing stakes,
he forgot to bend his head
to avoid the wire at the
spot and mistakenly
touched the wire with his
head.
The deceased was said to
be a footballer playing for
Ejigbo All Stars FC.
His corpse was said to have
been deposited in the
mortuary at Isolo General
Hospital.
The chairman of Ailegun
Community Development
Association ( CDA), Barr.
Bimbo Olawale, who
confirmed the incident, said
it was unfortunate, saying
the residents have been
always warned to be
cautious of their electrical
wiring to avoid such
incidents.
“We always warn people to
be security conscious. We
tell them that security
include anything that can
affect human life such as
electricity in terms of
wiring.
“The incident was an
unfortunate one and we
pray not to experience
such again but we must
always be conscious. The
incident has affected the
power supply in the
community, the supply to
the area has to be switched
off but we have contacted
Ikeja Electric to come and
fix it.” |
