A yet to be identified student of
the Rivers State University was electrocuted on Tuesday, June 13, by a high
tension cable. She was found lying near the school main gate shuttle park and
and rushed to the Health Care Centre where she was confirmed dead.
According to an eyewitness, the
young lady was trying to cross over an erosion following a heavy rain that
began in the early hours of that fateful day.
"The erosion she was
trying to to get across had a high tension wire in it as a result of a pole
that fell on Monday, June 12th. The deceased had no idea that there was wire in
the water."
It was gathered that the school
authorities reportedly contacted officials of the PHED to inform them of the
fallen cable.
