BEDC staff electrocuted to d3ath in Ekiti

A staff of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, has been electrocuted while repairing a fault on an electricity pole in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.

The incident occurred on Saturday, August 1, 2026 opposite the Federal Polytechnic Satellite Campus where the BEDC staff was working to restore power to residents in the area following a disruption.

According to eyewitnesses, the man was on top of the electric pole when he suddenly became weak and appeared disoriented, raising fears that he had suffered an electric shock.

He was thereafter rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

Hospital sources confirmed that he later d!ed while receiving treatment.
