"The incident occurred at Ogbe Quarters, Ute- Okpu community, in the Ike North-East Local Government Area of Nigeria’s Delta State. Residents raised an alarm after they saw the corpse of the yet-to-be-identified man hanging on the electric pole. “We were alerted by a young boy who was going to the next village that a dead body was hanging on the electric pole. We have been indoors since morning because of the rain that kept us in our beds." |

Somebody fucked around and found out.
On the plus side, the meat's already cooked. They could probably feed a family of four for a moth. |

Died trying to destroy a transformer?
"Autobots, transform and roll out!" |
|
To be fair, he was doing a good deed if it meant blackouts for all the nigerian scammers on the EE and FB.

He was told by the elders to go out to the bushes. He went to the bushings instead! BTW, according to the article, it happened in the delta state! Priceless! |
|
The article was published in July 10th. This is a current event.

View Quote I'd say it was more than "mild" shock. |

I hope it was one of the Facebook marketplace Nigerian scammers

They didn't mention it in this article, but I've read that they've had difficulty electrifying some rural parts because people will drain the transformer cooling oil for cooking oil.

I wonder if he has been contacted about estate continuity? Clearly an unfortunate series of events.
|
|
Rain kept them in their beds? Is that a legit reason to call into work there?

He's never going to get anywhere in life just hanging around.

He won't do that again. Surely there are better ways to accomplish what he was attempting to do...
