A teenage boy was on Thursday, electrocuted in Otukpo, Benue State.
The sad incident occurred around 7.30am at Vanapo Hotel junction.
The
victim and two others were riding on a motorcycle to an Abattoir when
they got stuck in a puddle of water on the road, close to an electric
pole that was poorly insulated.
Unfortunately, the
victim fell into the water and was immediately electrocuted by shock
waves. He died on the spot while the two other passengers escaped
unharmed.
The survivors then alerted neighbours who informed the
police. With help from the Power Holding Company, the victims remains
was evacuated to the mortuary.
