An Ikeja Electric worker identified as Tunde was taken to the hospital after falling from a pole on Palace Way, Abule, Arepo, in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The incident occurred on Monday when Tunde and his colleagues went to the community to disconnect the power supply.

The worker had disrupted a wire from the pole when it suddenly uprooted and fell with the victim still on it.

According to our source, the guy was hit in the face and had blood pouring from his face.

A witness, who was identified as Mrs Adeosho said “she was sleeping when they came to disconnect our power. As I came out, I saw that the man was already on the pole and I asked my neighbour what happened. My neighbour told me that he wanted to disconnect our electricity and I was shocked, because we already paid a certain amount, but I was told that what we paid was small and that they would disconnect our electricity.

“As I was speaking with my neighbour, I realised that the man came down from the pole, but their new marketer, who we were begging, ordered him to climb the pole again and bring the wire down instead of just disconnecting it.

“As the man was trying to pull the wire from the pole, I turned back to call the other neighbours to beg them. All of a sudden, we saw that the pole got uprooted from the ground and the man fell from it.

“Everybody scampered to safety because we all thought that he was electrocuted. It was after 10 minutes that people gathered around him and saw that he was still breathing but was injured and bleeding from the mouth and nostrils.

“He used a belt to tie himself to the pole and that was why he could not escape; people had to find something to cut the rope and rescue him to the Beachland Hospital on a motorcycle.”
