He said: "The lightening caused the 33 KV high tension wire above to spark, this came with a heavy sound with the wire coming down to the ground.
"Scared, the two brothers ran out of this closed shop and unfortunately, the wire had caused current to pass through the water. Immediately they stepped out, they were electrocuted and died.
"They had since been buried according to Islamic rites. May Almighty God forgive them their sins and grant them paradise. Ameen/Amen"
