Two people including a policeman have been confirmed electrocuted in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital. The remains of the two victims who lost their
lives at the constructions site in Isale Igbein
area of the state were later taken to the
morgue of the State Hospital in Ijaye. It was gathered that a young boy who was
identified as Moses 17, emerged from the Police
Barrack in front of the Government House to
scavenge for useful materials in the rubbles
which was used by the construction company
to fill the ditch at the site. Moses, whose father, a police officer was
recently killed by Armed Robbers in Abeokuta
has succeeded in gathering some iron rods
from the site and was on the way back home
when the rods touched and high tension cable
and he was electrocuted. The other victim, Sunday Joseph who has been
taking care of Moses since the death of his
father was immediately contacted on phone
rushed to the scene. According to eyewitnesses, when Mr Joseph
arrived the scene in a Volks Wagen Golf
marked Lagos FB 359 APP, he immediately
made for the lifeless body of Moses which was
still strapped under the cable but was
prevented by friends who were sympathizing with the family and in an instance, the police
officer forcefully let himself off the grips of
sympathisers and made for the Moses’ lifeless
body only to be trapped by the same cable and
was left gasping on the ground. All effort to rush him to the hospital proved
unsuccessful as his car which was the only
available car at the scene couldn’t be assessed
because of the security mechanism therein as
he died few minutes later. Leading a delegation of some state
government officials to the residence of the
deceased, the secretary to the state
government, Taiwo Adeoluwa promised
government assistance to the family.
