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.
