The victim
Latest trending news while attempting to steal some cables at Faith Street off Owina
road in Oredo local government area of Edo State, a suspected serial
cable thief identified as Omoivie was electrocuted to death in the early
hours of Thursday.
Well according to a report by The Nation, the victim’s corpse was still
seen this Thursday morning lying at the High Voltage Distribution System
(mini transformers) from where he attempted to steal the cable.
It is gathered that some eyewitnesses and residents in the area disclosed to reportes
that they believed the cable thief was killed between 2:00 a.m. and 3:00
a.m. because they experienced power fluctuations at the time.
It was gathered that officials of the Benin Electricity
Distribution Company (BEDC) are yet to connect residents in the area to
the HVDS, as some residents said many cables connected to the HVDS in
the area have been stolen since BEDC refused to electrify them for
public use.
A landlord in the street, Okhuorabo Isaac, said they were surprised
to see the body of the suspect when they woke up on Thursday morning. “We always bought cables for our transformers and they were stolen in this area.”
Another resident, Believe Ovamwanta, said, “We saw a boy lying
down with a plier by his side. There was electricity when the incident
happened. The boy was killed because of induction of the wires.”
