PHCN official trying to rescue his colleague also electrocuted (photos)

Yes, unfortunately both men died according to a LIB source at the scene who sent in the pics. The first one climbed the pole to fix the light and got electrocuted (read here). And his colleague climbed up to see if he could bring the dead man down, but he was also electrocuted. How unfortunate!

  39. This is completely insane.
    No safety measures for very high tension.
    2 fatalities on same incident.
    Is there no safety management system for the electrical body?
    Fashola has to probe this case, this is completely unimaginable.

  66. they are very quick to increase electricity tariffs but can't give basic training to their workers that they use to make all the money.
    Who on earth works in the industry that doesn't know that one can not carry an electrocuted man with bare hands?
    This again is change

  90. Nawa ooo...how can d second man even climb up to bring down an electrocuted man immediately??? Doea he not know d dangers and that electricity conducts abi na transfer sef.Is he stupid or what??? Is this a case of death calling someone's name??? The first man was an accident and a tragedy. The second man was just foolish. May their souls rest in peace!!!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Now who is going to bring them down??

    ReplyDelete
  92. Unfortunate. This is a recurring unfortunate incident. PHCN should have switched off electric supply before the second victim attempted to rescue the first victim. We must prevent this unfortunate incident in future. Does PHCN not have protocol on fixing faulty cables on their poles? Life is precious and once lost, it is gone for ever! May their souls rest in peace.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I don't believe this. NEPA officials NEVER go up a pole without switching the current off first.

    ReplyDelete
  94. So sad, don't like this, two men with great future just gone like that...

  104. I don't think these men are trained for this job. For God seek they are standard proceeds when you are working on an 11kva transmission line. I pray proper investigation is carried out to know who caused the dead of this young men. God bless Nigeria.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Firstly Linda there is no Institution known as PHCN as the Company had been metamorphosed into 11 distribution, 6 generating and 1 transmission Companies. Secondly these new companies do not seem to observe the necessary safety rules. Electricity you know is a good servant but a bad master. Life does not have duplicate, may their souls rest in perfect peace.@mikemezue

    I think some of these electricians and what have u r the architects of their own misfortune. You'll see some of them touching live wire without gloves or proper protective clothing without fear. It's a pity!
