The deceased who was not a staff of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) but lives in the neighborhood was on the pole to connect clients to the high tension before the incident which took his life occurred.

Residents of the area told newsmen that due to the poor power supply in the state, most people preferred connection to the federal line with assurance of daily 12 to 13 hours power supply.

The deceased who is a father of two, from Nembe local government area of the state was said to have been stuck for hours before officials of the PHCN came to his rescue.

A resident of Azikoro Road, Micheal Orubo, who witnessed the incident described the deceased as easy going who does electrical work in the neighbourhood to care for his family.

He said, “Amas lives on our street, and he does most of the connection work in this area. Why has death come to him in such a way? He just left us where we were playing chess game, and said he was coming back but never returned.
