PHCN staff electrocuted in Asaba
A PHCN worker who was undertaking illegal reconnection of power for a client, has been electrocuted to death.
The unfortunate incident which many resident of Asaba, the capital of Delta State, describe as retributive justice, according to Linda Ikeji, happened when the PHCN worker was on the electric pole trying to join wires together.
At the time, there was no power but suddenly, electricity was restored and the poor guy was electrocuted on the spot.
His shouts for help brought out the residents but he had already died before help could come his way.
