Ekohotblog reports that on Monday, a Benin Electricity Distribution Company employee was electrocuted in Ughelli, Delta State’s Ughelli North Local Government Area.
The tragic occurrence occurred at 5 p.m. on Pipeline Street in the city, as the deceased was engaged in repairing a defect on a faulty cable bringing power to the neighborhood in the middle of drizzling rain.
The lifeless corpse of the BEDC worker became stuck to the dangling cable, creating an emotional spectacle to see.
Many onlookers particularly women could not withhold tears as they wept uncontrollably over the gory sight.
It was gathered that the power supply to the entire locality was later switched off by the BEDC management from the main source, thus giving the rescue team from the office opportunity to remove the remains of the deceased from the cable much later in the evening.
