Photo: Young Man Electrocuted To Death While Trying To Steal Parts Of A Transformer In Lagos

While trying to steal one of the cables in a transformer in Iju Ishaga area, Lonlo bus stop, Lagos at midnight, the young man in the photo above, was electrocuted to death.



He was trying to remove another one from the Mitchell 500KVA when electricity supply was suddenly restored.



The corpse of the deceased, was discovered by a 13-year old boy, Segun Adedokun, who was going to fetch water in the area.




On sighting the dead body, Adedokun raised alarm that attracted residents of the area to the scene of the incident.




Some residents who had gathered at the scene, as at the time of this report, were seen using their cell phones to take photograph of the
electrocuted young man, while cursing him for attempting to steal the feeder units.




A witness, Mr. Egunjobi Samuel, said that vandals had been tampering with their transformer for a long time, adding that luck ran
out on the victim because God wanted to expose one of them today.



"We have been experiencing this thing for a long time. Some people will just come and remove some parts from this transformer. God
decided to expose one of them today. It serves him right,'' Samuel said.
