Very unfortunate!
May her soul rest in peace...

Am not surprised immediately I heard benue I knew it was going to be bad news you will never hear any good news from Benue you will never hear that the governor of benue commission a project one you hear Benue just wait for the bad news

If country like Nigerian can migrate to solar it's will save life and boost economy than ever before
Rip madam

This tragic event needs to be investigated to forestall further reoccurrence. Power surge does not necessarily cause an electrocution unless the insulation is broken.

So sad. RIP

Saying ‘Rest in peace’ isn’t enough. We should educate ourselves on how to avoid such occurrences. Drop a line if you’re knowledgeable in that area.

Nepa why now. They need to sure Nepa. Why will you bring such high current.

What a sad one. May God grant her eternal rest

I think her hand was wet. Note that she was trying to bath baby at the same time. Never use wet hand to touch electrical gadgets.

I remember some years ago, my hand was just dried of water and I tried to switch on the electric cooker type socket in the kitchen and the next thing was a jolt of electric shock the type I had never felt before. Since that day whenever I wanted to switch on the same socket I put a thick hand towel barrier between my hand and the socket.

My 5k second hand microwave also shocked me lightly in 2008 and I also remember opening my side garden metal gate and it leaned onto a neighbors barbed wire security fence which must have been plugged into electricity as I got a shock from the metal door.

Life is too cheaply lost in Nigeria unduly and when you need the pro bono lawyers to fight to get compensation from PHCN for this woman's husband, you will not see them.

Same way power surge from PHCN destroyed all the computers in my cousins internet cafe in the days internet cafes were profitable.

I am still puzzled at how my touching a red plastic electric cooker pull down switch could have led to my receiving an electric shock and my hands had just been dried before touching the plastic switch

I don't understand... Power surge or not, how does one get electrocuted merely by ironing clothes?!!!

the story no clear at all. in sane country, this would have been investigated...
