OWERRI – Luck ran out on a middle-aged suspected vandal, Thursday as he was electrocuted while vandalizing one of the transformers serving Akanchawa Udenwa area of Owerri metropolis.
It was neither clear how many people came for the damnable operation nor at what time of the night the vandal died in his act but residents of the area told Vanguard that they woke up to behold the morbid spectacle.
Vanguard investigations also revealed that the suspected vandal wanted to exploit the periodic but prolonged public power outage in the area to actualize his devilish plot before power was suddenly restored to the facility.
Confirming the sad incident to Vanguard, PHCN Senior Manager, Public Relations, Mr. Ositadinma Ugwuafor, said it was the second time a vandal was being electrocuted in action in that area.
His words: “In the instant case, the vandal had succeeded in cutting off the up-riser cable of the transformer, as well as the earth copper wire worth thousands of Naira. A long dagger and hack saw were recovered close to the lifeless body.”
