Our correspondent reports that this occurred barely 48 hours after electricity was restored to the Northern part of the country following a 9-day blackout.

Residents of Orji Estate in Gombe, the state capital woke up to a shocking sight Friday morning of the horrifying body of the suspected cable thief which was burnt beyond recognition.

The electrocuted body was found dangling on a power line near the state Ministry of Women Affairs around the estate.

Motorcycle riders, popularly known as ‘Achaba riders’ as well as passersby flocked to the scene to take a glance at the horrific aftermath of the man’s ill-fated attempt to vandalise and steal electric cables.
