Suspected Electric Cable Vandal Gets Electrocuted In Delta (Photos)

The incident described is indeed a startling development. According to the information provided, a suspected electric cable vandal was electrocuted in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. The incident occurred at around 3:00 am in Ogbe Quarters, Ute-Okpu Kingdom.

The residents of the community were alerted to the situation by a young boy who spotted the lifeless body hanging from a twin electric pole near the Afor market. It seems that due to heavy rainfall, most residents stayed indoors, and it was only the observant boy who noticed the body. The residents, taken aback by the discovery, stated that they were unaware that someone was hanging there until the boy raised the alarm.

The individual was found holding an electric cable in his hands, indicating that he was attempting to cut the cable. The region had reportedly been experiencing a lack of power supply, but the electricity distribution company (BEDC) had restored power around 3:00 am on the same day. The exact cause of the electrocution is unclear at this point, and the residents have notified the local vigilante group to remove the body.

One resident, named John, mentioned that the community had been without power for some time before it was restored that morning. Another anonymous resident expressed sorrow over the incident but also attributed it to the desire for quick wealth, suggesting that some young people engage in vandalism rather than seeking legitimate employment. The identity of the deceased individual remains unknown until the body is brought down and identified by the authorities.

It is important to note that this account is based on the information provided and may be subject to further investigation by local authorities to determine the exact circumstances and cause of the incident.
