A 32-year-old woman has been electrocuted at Fetteh Kakraba in the Gomoa East Metropolitan Assembly of the Central region, Ghana.
The unfortunate incident occurred on Friday after staff from the Electricity Company of Ghana(ECG) reported disconnected power supply.
“The ECG staff staffs disconnected the light of the deceased but failed to cut off the electrical cables that connect the pole to the meter and left it hanging,” according to Adom News.
“The deceased upon return to the house attempted to position the cable well to avoid any danger but was electrocuted in the process,” reports said.
An eyewitness said,” the victim died after they rushed her to St Gregory Hospital.”
They have threatened to beat any ECG officer who will come around to check their meter or make any disconnection in the area again.
