So Sad! Female Rivers State University Student Dies of Electrocution

A female student of the Rivers State University was electrocuted by a high tension cable somewhere around the school campus.

The body was found lying lifeless close to the schools main gate shuttle park.

According to a Facebook user, Victor Idaye Briggs, who shared the sad news on his page, the deceased died while trying to move across an area where there was erosion after heavy rain that started in the early hours of Tuesday.

Victor’s post further states:

“Our correspondent spoke to an eyewitness, the erosion she was trying to get across had a hightension wire in it as a result of a pole that fell yesterday (Monday 12th), the deceased had no idea there was a wire in the water.

He also gathered that men of the PHED (PortHarcourt Electricity Distribution Company) was contacted on Monday, the day the electric pole fell but all efforts to get them address the situation had seem fruitless.
