Graphic pics: Man electrocuted on PHCN power line poles in Calabar

In the early hours of this morning, residents in the Government Technical College, Lemna, Calabar, woke up to find a man dried up on PHCN power line poles, electrocuted. One resident said their lights went out very early in the morning and they thought it was the usual PHCN blackout, only to find the man hanging from the poles at the break of dawn.

Police and other security agencies have arrived the area and efforts are ongoing to bring the man down and make proper identifications. Continue to see more photos...

That's a saw hanging from his shoulder, right?
At first instance, one would appear certain he went to loot cables and other electrical equipment.
On a second thought, we can't be too sure. Could it be murder and he was put up there as a camouflage (sounds incredulous I know but we never can tell).
This should be properly investigated. Either ways, he couldn't have done this alone. There is more to this...

Linda this people are found of stealing, they take this equipment when there is no light, this man was unlucky the light came and he met his doom. Reporting from cross river basin town.

Unknown said...

I wish I could find sympathy for this person but I can almost bet he was trying to vandalize this stuff to buy more drugs and work up enough courage for a robbery (that is if he was not already part of a gang!). Its him and his ilk that make sure Nigerians like me remain in perpetual darkness. God protect us from this. I just pray the same "back to sender" remedy befalls the Haramists as well each time they step out to set up bombs.

Many people do this stuff... especially in Lagos... Once the power holding company disconnect there wire from the electric pole they call some unqualified men to fix it back as soon as the Phcn guys are gone...(this illegal work is done mostly at midnight)..

Wow wonders shall never end! Biko did this man smoke Igbo ? If not, why will a sane person take such risk! No gloves or ladder!
