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 neighbors
who informed the police. With help
from the Power Holding Company,
the victims remains was evacuated
to the mortuary.
