A third man was electrocuted yesterday by a faulty street light pole at Kosofe Bus-stop in the Mile 12 area of Lagos state.

 

According to a report by News Every Hour, the man was electrocuted to death as he tried to cross the road.

 

The Lagos State Government recently barricaded the road around the area with iron rails to force people to use the new pedestrian bridge in the area instead of crossing the road. 

 

However, because the bridge location is very far from this particular spot, people who have businesses at the other side of the road always cross the iron rail demarcation after bending the sharp pointed irons fitted on top. 

 

 

It was gathered that the street pole became a death messenger since its broken cable became exposed. Three unlucky persons died yesterday at different times after getting electrocuted by the rail.

 

The report also said that more disaster might soon come as the faulty pole is at the brink of collapse which might be more disastrous.
