A graphic artist with the National Mirror Newspaper,
Ezingbe Daniel, died from electrocution at his house in the Igando area
of Lagos State after he attempted to switch on his generating set
on Thursday.
According to
what was learnt, he was having issues with the electricity in his house
because his landlord cut him off power supply to his apartment for more
than three months and he has been relying on his generator for power but
he was not aware that his landlord had restored his electricity.
“At first, it
was his daughter that went to put on the generator and the generator
almost electrocuted her. She later called her father that the generator
was charged and when she tried to switch it on, the generator shocked
her. That was how her father (Mr. Ezingbe) came to switch on the
generating set but he was electrocuted instantly as he pulled the rope.
“The shock threw him off balance and slammed him on the floor. He died on the spot.”
The source
added that the corpse has been deposited in a mortuary but the police
arrested the unnamed landlord in connection with the death.
RIP Mr Ezingbe!
is a pity,RIP
