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...

  7. 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...

  106. 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.

  144. 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!

  160. People in Nigeria will continue to do these kind of things. There is so much lawlessness and everyone claim to be everything. I would not be surprised this man is a carpenter trying to be an electrician. When will be start regulating the informal sector properly? In other places, you not even set up and electrical shop if you are not certified.
