The family of an electrician, Jonathan Kolo, has been grieving after he got electrocuted while attempting to restore the power supply to his household at Deeper Life Road in Ubeji, Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State.
Mr Stanley Njoku, a close friend of the family while confirming the incident said that it happened on Thursday, May 4, 2023.
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.
