An unidentified man was electrocuted in the early hours of Friday while attempting to steal transformer wires on the premises of the Niger State Printing Press in Minna, Niger State.
The employees of the printing company discovered his body hanging from the transformer.
According to DSP Wasiu Abiodun, spokesperson for the Niger Police Command, the body has been deposited at the Minna General Hospital.
According to the Head of the Legal Unit, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) Aminu Ubandoma, the company had received a report about the incident.
He, however, said that the AEDC is working with security agencies, especially the police, to ensure that the rate of transformer vandalism in the area is reduced.
Friday’s incident is the latest in the growing rate of vandalism in the state. Perpetrators, who majorly target critical infrastructures including power equipment, do so at odd hours.
