A yet-to-be-identified suspected electric cable thief has been electrocuted at Ogbe Quarters in Ute-Okpu Kingdom, Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State.

THE MANDATE ONLINE reports that the unfortunate incident occurred between the hour of 3am on Saturday.

Residents of the sleepy agrarian community were shocked to discover a dangling lifeless body hanging on a twin electric pole located at a 33 KVA transformer by the popular Afor marked, Ute- Okpu.

Some residents who were seen gathering in the area expressed shock and sadness over the development.

It was gathered that they were alerted by a young boy who was going to the next village, as they never knew that a dead body was hanging on the electric pole.

Some residents who spoke to THE MANDATE ONLINE, said they have been indoors since morning, no thanks to the torrential rain that kept them on their beds.

According to a resident who simply gave his name as John, ”We were alerted by a young boy who was going to the next village. We never knew that somebody was hanging up there.”

“We didn’t go anywhere today do to the rain fall. Even though we came out to our front here, we did not notice the lifeless body of the young man hanging there “

”The lifeless body is holding electric the cable in his hands, which means that he was cutting the cable. For some time now we didn’t have power supply, but BEDC brought light around 3 am today. Well, only God knows what happened.”

“We have alerted the vigilante in this area and we are waiting for them to bring down the corps.”

Another resident who preferred anonymity, decried the sad incident, blaming it in the get quick rich syndrome of our present day youths who does not want to suffer but interested in making quick money.

“As you can see, he is holding the cable on his hand up there which means that he was the there to vandalize the cable. Our youths don’t want to work but want to make money. Nobody can identify the corpse because he is up there. Until they bring him down, we won’t know whether he is from here or from any of the neighbouring villages.”

As at the time of filing this report, neither the community vigilante nor the police has arrived the scene, but residents of the area were on ground discussing in groups on the strange occurrence.
