An unidentified transformer vandal was electrocuted early Monday morning while stealing some feeder pillar units from an electric transformer at Lonlo Bus Stop, along Iju Road, Fagba, Lagos State, southwest, Nigeria.
The victim, who was in a pair of jeans and black T–Shirt, had succeeded in removing one feeder unit, but luck ran out on him while he was trying to remove another one from the Mitchell 500KVA when electricity supply was suddenly restored.
The corpse of the deceased, who was believed to be from the northern part of Nigeria, was discovered by a 13-year old boy, Segun Adedokun, who was going to fetch water in the area.
According to reports, on sighting the dead body, Adedokun raised alarm that attracted residents of the area to the scene of the incident.
When O.D visited the area Monday morning, some residents who had gathered at the scene, were seen using their cell phones to take photograph of the electrocuted young man, while cursing him for attempting to steal the feeder units.
