An unidentified young man has reportedly been electrocuted on a high tension cable belonging to Kano Electricity Company, Newpremises reports.

Ibrahim Shawai, the company spokesman who confirmed the incident said the man was electrocuted in the midnight of Monday.

According to him, the man was electrocuted when power was restored while he was trying to steal the cables.

He said the deceased and his gang had been moving about vandalizing KEDCO cables but when the unfortunate incident happened, they fled, leaving the remains of their colleague behind.

Shawai expressed worry that increasing vandalization of their cables and other equipment calls for serious measures from both communities and security agencies.

He said right now the company is running on multiple losses with a lack of payments of tariffs and the theft of their equipment.

When contacted, DSP Haruna Kiwaya, spokesman of the Kano State Police Command, said the matter is under investigation.

One kilo of copper is 3k now,

If you can get 5kilo, that is 15k.

That is why these boys are busy trying to steal cable from everywhere.

Last week, one idiot died in my area. He wanted to turn of our transformer by force, he threw a chair into the transformer to jam the transformer.

It worked. He successfully tripped of the transformer, when he was about cutting armored cable, the transformer restarted itself, and boom. Lifeless corpse in the morning.

Once they notice a house is empty, they would attack the air-conditioning first, they would steal the coil and everything. Copper is king I swear.

For those of you who leave far from pan taker, you wouldn't understand what we go through.

People even steal railway track these days, that's why china no dey use iron to build train for Nigeria.
