I suspect murder or suicide here. How can a 5v USB electrocute a grown up human being, something I even put in my mouth. Even if the charger goes bad such wound looks out of it. Waiting for professionals to throw more light on the matter.
There's no Blood

AngryIgboMan:
I have said this before and I will repeat it again;

This man may have murdered and maybe a lighter used to burn and char his hand to make it look like a charger accident.

Research has proven it over and over again that the volts contained in a phone charger cannot kill a human being. Even, how many times have we seen were an electric current killed someone? Our impulses are designed in such a way that a single shock will jolt you away in a split second to keep you safe.

If not that Nigeria is a very useless country and an irredeemable zoo filled with very hopeless people in large proportions, a forensic department of the police will be able to discover many fingerprints on this man's body.

What am I even talking about. Do we even have a police force not to talk of the forensic department? They are busy running after yahoo boys who brings money! Hopeless nation who their criminal, irresponsible politicians have stolen away there past, present and future.
I rep your stand, except for that part you called Nigeria a zoo.
there is more to that incident than electrocution.

Sir we wouldn't know unless u try it and revert to us. Keep us posted pls.
it's impossible for a 5v to kill you because its just too low, touching it with your hand can't cause any shock.

Because in Nigeria, every little thing comes across as a cover up.

Why am I having the feeling that the narrative sounds like a desperate cover up. What do I know. Rip to the dead sha.

He is a very stupid man, he was busy waiting for that girl to reply his messages via charging his run down battery and eventually slept off to death.

Even girls can't do this nonsense why a grown up man like him.

believe this at your own damnation


chargers give out 1 to 3 amp which is not enough to even shock let alone kill....shock starts from 30 amp

Sad!
But I don't get why they pulled off his trousers.
People poop & pee on themselves when they die. It's the body's final "release". So it could be why they're removing his pants.

A Nigerian man simply identified as Barisuka,
has died after he got electrocuted while
charging his phone in his home in Port
Harcourt, the Rivers state capital on Monday
March 9th.

A friend of the deceased, Emmanuel Alagiri Jnr,
who shared the story online, said the deceased
who is his neighbor, was charging his phone,
placed it on his body and slept off. It was later
discovered that he was electrocuted in the
process.

Rip to the dead but USB cable with 5v current cannot cause electrocution, the story is not true, electrical engineers in the house should tell us if really a USB 5 voltage can electrocute one to dead

They should just find another lie to tell the deceased family. the current that passes through a usb cord is just 5v and cannot kill anybody

So what about the arm wound? Looks like a burn... Perhaps electricity coursed through his body and busted from there

For your information a killer voltage is just 0.5v AC. So small breach from the circuit of the charger can kill person.
