Two women married to the same man have died after one tried helping the other that was electrocuted.
It was revealed that the first woman unknowingly touched a naked wire when she went to spread her wet cloth on the electric wire without knowing that a part of it was naked. The other woman who came to help her also got electrocuted and died after she touched the neck of the first woman.
The cloth she wanted to spread was used to drain the house after heavy rainfall caused water to enter their home.
The incident happened on Thursday in Tungan-Wakili, Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State, located few kilometres from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The dead women left behind five children as the sad incident has left people in mourning.
