Our correspondent gathered that the man died as a result of the electric shock when he allegedly destroyed the campaign billboard erected in Ibadan.

It would be recalled that there were reports of billboard construction of candidates of various political parties across the state as the 2023 general elections draw nearer.

Some of the campaign billboards that have been vandalised, destroyed or totally removed in recent times were those of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), Accord Party (AP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP).

It was gathered that the man whose identity had not been revealed, was destroying a campaign billboard of Mr. Adebayo Adelabu, the gubernatorial candidate of Accord in the 2023 elections when he was electrocuted.

The man got electrocuted when he touched the electric wire beside the billboard at the Challenge area of Ibadan on Friday.

An eyewitness, who pleaded for anonymity, noted that the residents of the area had already warned the man against destruction of the campaign billboard.

“Suddenly, we saw him shaking and no one could move closer to him as it is obvious that he had mistakenly touched the electric wire beside the billboard”, the source said.

Media Director, Bayo Adelabu Campaign Organisation, Mr. Bolaji Tunji, confirmed the incident on Saturday and explained that there have been different reports of destruction of campaign billboards in the state.

He added that Adelabu expressed deep regret about the incident, saying “We heard of the unfortunate incident. There have been different reports on what the guy was doing. Some said he was fixing the billboard while others said he was vandalising it.
