An electrician identified as Jonathan Kolo, has been electrocuted to death.
Trouble started on Thursday May 4th 2023 when the deceased was trying to restore power to his residence with touch light at Deeper Life Road Ubeji, Warri south local government area of Delta State.
A close family friend of the deceased, Mr Stanley Njoku, who confirmed the incident said that it happened at night.
Njoku said the incident occurred in the night while the deceased was trying to restore power supply at his residence with the aid of a touch light.
He believed what happened must have been due to short-sightedness of the deceased because he cannot see without his glasses.
Regrettably, Njoku stated late Jonathan Kolo could not trace where his glasses was at the time he was trying to restore the power supply.
He lamented that what happened to Jonathan was not expected because he was a very diligent electrician who had wired many houses in the area and even
worked offshore as a qualified electrician.
He also added that he died on his way to the hospital, as confirmed by the doctor on duty that night at Naval Hospital, Warri.
