A man said to be BEDC staff was electrocuted while carrying out repairs on an electric pole close to the University of Benin, Ekehuan campus, IGBERETV reports.

The yet-to-be identified man who wore safety clothing with the inscription, 'BEDC', was seen dangling from an electric pole when the incident happened on Thursday, May 11, 2023.

Eyewitnesses said that the man was held up on the pole and before they could turn off the transformer, he was electrocuted.

“The man was trying to fix one of the wires that was falling when he was electrocuted,” a witness said.

"I don’t think the light was not turned off from the central switch before he embarked on carrying out the repair. He was already close to the high-tension wire when power was restored and he got electrocuted.

“He was there for about 20 minutes before people started noticing what was happening to him. But I guess it was too late.”

Carrying out repairs on a live high tension cable? Is he really a staff of the coy?

Anyway, may he rest in peace if he is truly a staff member.

RIP bro

These things are avoidable if these electricity companies employ skilled electricians, train them well and also provide necessary equipments for their safety. These kind of accidents are everywhere in Nigeria now.

You don't work on 33kv with any protective gears.

Just switch of power supply, that's all.

No protective gear can save anyone on a live high tension cable.

The cables were off when he climbed the ladder, someone deliberately put it on. He has had same encounter about 4 times this year alone, infact he gave thanksgiving in Church just 3 weeks ago, praising God for sparing his life from this exact situation.

Sigh... Almost everything about this nation screams Primitive and Backward!

Electricity workers can't even fully communicate on the field...

Why would the young man climb that pole when the central transmission hadn't been powered off?!

You can imagine!

A simple communication of safe or hold on could have prevented this!
