A suspected electricity cable thief met a grim fate near an electricity transformer in Niger state on Friday, September 8.

According to sources familiar with the unfortunate incident, the ill-fated individual was discovered lifeless early this morning.

A source told trendygists that the deceased, who was suspected of attempting to pilfer electricity cables from the transformer, met his demise when power was unexpectedly restored.

Unfortunately, the young man’s daring endeavor to abscond with the cables ended in a fatal electrocution during a brazen act of theft that took place at the Minna printing press transformer located opposite Minna Old Secretariat, along Keteren Aware road, Minna.

Confirming the incident, one Awwal Salihu wrote:

“An armor cable vandal has been found dead inside a transformer in Minna. It is believed that he was killed when power was restored to the feeder, while he was attempting to vandalize the cable.

Oh Allah, another young man wasted.”

Any hardship that will make you to steal and vandalize at the detriment of the public simply tells that you're evil and fanatically greedy.
