This is the third man to have been electrocuted today by this faulty Street light pole at Kosofe Bus Stop, Mile 12. The Lagos State Government recently barricaded the road around the area with iron rails to force people to use the new pedestrian bridge in the area instead of crossing the road.
However, because the bridge location is very far from this particular spot, people who have businesses at the other side of the road always cross the iron rail demarcation after bending the sharp pointed irons fitted on top.
Unfortunately, a broken cable from this street light pole fitted to the demarcation is already touching the entire rail and therefore everyone trying to cross the place today have been shocked.
Three unlucky persons died today at different times after getting electrocuted by the rail. That’s not the only problem, the said pole is at the brink of collapse as it’s been shaking all day and a major wind can finally pull it down.
This is a very busy road, hope authorities will do something about it immediately before more damage is done. More photos below..
