Make dem check the place well well, they used patch patch wiring and probably got exposed to some serious current.

Lesson 1: Never ever plug your charger directly into an outlet, it offers the least protection.
Lesson 2: Always use voltage regulators/power strip protection/stabilizers
Lesson 3: Pay a qualified electrician to properly wire your home, don't risk your life for savings of less than 10k.

Dis death na follow come original. Dey don reason him matter finish come use negligence nail d man

May his soul rest in peace

As an electrical engineering, current inside a phone charging cable is not sufficient to be fatal

Lala abeg wen Nokia charger start to dey shock person to death ... I just sey make I ask

Bloody liars and illiterate bloggers.
There IS NO WAY answering a call while charging a phone can kill someone,unless the person touched a live wire.
NO WAY and anyone who believes such news in this day and age needs to be taken to one remote village and dumped there.

For what I know, the charger supplies a 12V DC to the phone while it may take up to 220V AC from mains. So, how can a 12V DC kill someone?

It doubt it's the phone that killed the man.

It is unfortunate.

It's possible. Doubting Thomas should pray not to be unfortunate.

Village people will never caught us o. Amen

village people in action. How can tiny Phone charger kill a full grown man? Something else killed that man jhor if u investigate properly.

Scientists in the house, help and explain biko. If it can happen during call, it can also happen during Browsing which most of us do.

Way before the call came in, the charger must have been faulty and showing some signs like the touch screen not responding properly while the phone is being charged, but because it was still charging his phone, he ignored the fault.

The transformer could have developed a partial fault due to high volatge.

Also diodes that changes AC voltage to DC was also malfunctioning.

With this two components malfunctioning, its either the charger kills your phone and if you're unlucky, it kills you.

Don't use your phone while its charging especially with direct electricity.

OMG this guy is a friend of mine...how can this be possible even! What is happening in this world...people you see today tomorrow the are no more. Whether it is the phone plugged to the socket that killed him or not should not make us take risk. Anything could have caused the death but for the phone plugged to light, we cant neglect the warning please. RIP dear friend.

They should investigate well. I have answered phones several times while charging.

Maybe it is the charger cos people can manufacture fake stuffs.

The wife should tell a better story. Something else killed that man.

Bola146:
How many times have they warned people not to receive calls while charging

They don't listen. They think its swag.

I see guys with Powerbank plugged to phones and when you tell them its like you are bothering them.

Young lady turned into a widow at this time. So sad.

Bola146:


Ask my sisters at home not me?

Ok, it's a family trait i guess.

ThatFairGuy:
Do not answer call while charging!
Do not call or receive call close to cooking gas!!

All these are safety measures being sound into our hearing day by day but we still have some who refused these.

No scientific back up to your claims

Village people. Why do tragedies happen shortly after or before wedding? Maybe we need to start keeping weddings low key and under wraps. Naija dey see wedding like say the person don hammer.

If you quickly removed your phone charging cable from your phone as were reading this,gather here.

BeardedMeat:
Rip

They should find out the person that placed that killer call to him first. The call may have been laced with a "poisonous" voice. Lol
But we have been warned severally to not answer calls with the charging cord intact and active.... plus handling our phones during rain especially one with lightening.
R.I.P

How many times have they warned people not to receive calls while charging

how many times have they warned people not to have s*x without condom

Esseite:


Was the charger plugged to high tension that it even threw the wife away?...

They should name the charger and charging cord that can conduct that amount of electricity.

They should find out what truly happened they led to his death.

There may be an exposed wire or something

There is no way that one can get electrocuted while on the phone and the phone plugged in to charge

It's a fake popular belief that has been falsified ages ago

This is new

This life...

RIP to the dead

This is a habit, I personally need to stop... I even sleep with it while charging , one day I forgot it under the pillow I woke up to urinate I touched my phone , it was hot like aboki tea water...

Chai the wife happens to come from my neighborhood, rip to d dead.

It is today I know nairaland houses the most foolish set of Nigerians in existence. Jesus Christ!!

Many times I dey Use tongue draw current directly from charge and to test if the charger is working , even as some default charger sometimes choke my tongue, I still never die
