The Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, Professor Rahmon Bello stated that the family of late Miss Oluchi Anekwe who was electrocuted by a faulty cable must be compensated by Eko Electricity Distribution Plc, EKEDP.
According to Vanguard, Bello who spoke during a press briefing at UNILAG's conference centre said:

"The Federal Government panel findings has established that the faulty cable which caused Oluchi’s death belong to EKEDP and they must pay compensation to the family of the deceased.

"EKEDP has put in place an Assurance Policy by an Insurance company whereby a compensation will be paid to family of a deceased in case of lost of life. The Insurance company has been contacted to come and assess the damage and give their recommendations for compensation. As soon as this is done, we will know the amount.’’

Good and adequately compesated. It will serve as a good lesson not to be careless.

That would be very important, though it won't bring back the life lost, but it would at least sooth d pain a little.

Wil it bring back d girl?so sad,

Wil it bring back d girl?so sad,

So, because it won't bring back the girl, they shouldn't compensate the lady's family? Are you for real?

The Compensation should be paid immediately and we dont want to hear story like "We've paid 2million to the parent".
Well, no amount of money paid would be able to bring her back but, they should pay something worthwhile and tangible.
