A final year student of Petroleum Training Institute has been electrocuted while installing solar panels on a one-storey building at Warri Garage area, Nigeria.
“The aluminium ladder used by the student in climbing up to the position he intended to install the solar panels was magnetised by the high-tension wires linking a neighbouring commercial bank,” according to reports.
“Consequently, he got electrocuted in the process,” witnesses said.
A gallant passerby, on noticing the ugly development, instantly used a long dry plank to hit the aluminium ladder thus successfully detaching it from the vibrating high-tension wires, to which the young man had stuck unconsciously.
“The boy was immediately rushed to a nearby private clinic for treatment where he gave up the ghost shortly on arrival at the private clinic,” reports said.
“The remains of the late student have been laid to rest in his country home in one of the South-East states,” reports said.
