The phone is inside a leather case( Its INSULATED) The USB Cable itself is INSULATED and not burnt anywhere, the man didn't die from Phone electrocution but other means! Lets stop causing fear unnecessarily!!!

Amen.

Such a sad and unexpected end

May God comfort his family.

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

..do u know current as little as 0.2A can kill..bro next time talk about the voltage not current, most times its the voltage that causes electrocution ok..

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.

Put the Country in your prayers

30A won't shock you it'll burn you!

Did he connect the phone to direct line from the pole, Nigerian electricity are not this powerful. RIP

panch001:

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

bullshit

A breach in the circuit will burn and destroy the charger. It won't increase its voltage that will turn around and kill you.


Its like saying some breach in car engine can make the engine run 1000km/h when the maximum speed of the engine is 230km/h.

cRobo:
Did he really die?

No at all , him dey sleep guy

I though am the only one thinking in this way... if truly the usb was the caused of his death why the USB did not burnt too...

someone is connected to his death

SUPERPACK:
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.

Be educated, ignorance kills

Rip

So sad, Rip to him. That's why is good you use phone that the battery can last and that can charge fast. Phones like tecno, iPhone etc

I'm sorry to say this but it baffles me how that USB charger cable can electrocute someone...There is something else the public is not being told concerning this sad thing, i think the law have to step in and do a professional investigation.It could be suicide or murder.

the usb cable wires are exposed. very dangerous

ExAngel007:
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.

when will Nigerians stop been stupid?
it's only 5v that goes through your phone charger.
how can 5volts kill?
220 volts can't kill you at once when mistakenly held or handled.
how come 5volts?

jabolo:


Where you plug the charger into the socket is a transformer that steps down 220v to 5v AC, then other electronics covert that AC to DC for your phone. In sub-standard chargers, the insulation is easily breached between the cables conveying the transformer primary (220V) and secondary (5V) so you could effectively have 220V AC all along the entire charger right up to the cable, which can kill.

Ordinarily, the electrical circuit should trip quickly at the fuse or distribution board when it detects a large inrush current upon the insulation breach, or when the victim is shocked. This has not happened means the electrical system was not professionally installed.

These two failings being present could have contributed to the electrocution but the victim could also have had underlying heart problems which made him succumb quicker.

What could have caused it is it substandard charge or power surge I thought if their is power cuttage the current stops to flow through the USB 5v once the head charger is burned by power surge

Na small thing dey kill strong man

johnkey:
in yoruba when someone gets electrocuted they say 'o ti gan pa', you know why? the body gets stiffed in the same position it was at the time of the electric shock that's why he's neck is that way.

any how you die, you get stiff in that position

So sad.

Wat kind of Tecno phones are you talking about please?

Say No to Chinese phones.. RIP bros

I don't understand ooo ,the voltage is just 5v ooo,5v unless the charger is faulty or probably a fake.


RIP man.

People don't understand that the human body is good conductor of electric current.

GbeneBari eeeeh!!!

Dem don kill neebue come dey accused charge abi USB.

You have still not responded on the question I asked you about the type of Tecno phones are you talking about. I'm waiting

THIS IS A CLEAR SIGN OF MURDER. THE MAXIMUM VOLTAGE A MOBILE PHONE CHARGER WILL CARRY IS 7Volts DC and not AC. THERE ARE ZENER DIODES THAT CONTROLS VOLTAGE RISING ABOVE THAT. THE AC (PART (alternate current) OF THE CHARGER HAD BEEN STEPPED DOWN TO harmless DC(direct current) THROUGH A SMALL TRANSFORMER RIGHT WITHIN THE CHARGER. IN CASE OF HIGH VOLTAGE THE CHARGER WILL BURN INSIDE AND NOT EVEN THE WIRE THEN CUT OFF SUPPLY. The issue must be well investigated.

It might be true cos USB chord have almost eletricuted me b4...A word is enough 4 the wise

Let me say it again for the benefit of the so called "educated guys" shouting 5V from usb can't kill you, ignorance can kill you.

Don't assume 5V can't kill you, a faulty charger can kill you in seconds. Don't play ludo with your life.

A good charger should not kill but a faulty charger can!

It could be possible, I am sure the adapter must have been a counterfeit that didn't meet all the safety standards. It looks like the rectifiers failed thereby allowing the full fledged AC (230v 50hz) to pass through the wire. That ultimately burnt the wire and electrocuted him.

My condolences to his bereaved families
