Everyday
for the Thief, One Day for the owner of the house.
This is shocking; but I think the
‘thief’ was paid the required price. I wonder why people have refused to stay
away from government installations. Even as we pray and appeal to our leaders
to do more in the areas of provision of good public utilities and better
service delivery; some disgruntled elements are bent on causing more harm to
the already provided welfare services.
According to report by Kemi
Filani, a young man was electrocuted recently in Lagos while attempting to steal
from a power cable in Lagos.

While trying to steal one of the
cables in a transformer in Iju Ishaga area, Lonlo bus stop, Lagos at midnight,
the young man in the photo above, was electrocuted to death.
He was trying to remove another
one from the Mitchell 500KVA when electricity supply was suddenly restored.
The corpse of the deceased, was
discovered by a 13-year old boy, Segun Adedokun, who was going to fetch water
in the area.
On sighting the dead body,
Adedokun raised alarm that attracted residents of the area to the scene of the
incident.
Some residents who had gathered
at the scene, as at the time of this report, were seen using their cell phones
to take photograph of the electrocuted young man, while cursing him for
attempting to steal the feeder units.
A witness, Mr. Egunjobi Samuel,
said that vandals had been tampering with their transformer for a long time,
adding that luck ran out on the victim because God wanted to expose one of them
today.
“We have been experiencing this
thing for a long time. Some people will just come and remove some parts from
this transformer. God decided to expose
one of them today. It serves him right,’’ Samuel said.
Good for him...
