electric
PUNCH Metro learnt that the suspect, Mr.
John Aboy, was killed on Dagin Farouk
Road, Jos, Plateau State. The incident was
said to have taken place at about 3am.
Our correspondent gathered that three
suspected diesel thieves had come around the
building to perpetrate the act, and Aboy had
led the way by attempting to climb over the
fence first.
However, he was electrocuted in the process.
It was gathered that when the two other
suspects saw that he had been electrocuted,
they took to their heels.
Aboy was later found dead on the electric
fence in the morning to the bewilderment of
passersby and residents of the area.
The police on patrol were said to have arrived
at the scene to recover Aboy's hanging
corpse.
Our correspondent gathered that the corpse
was deposited at the morgue of the Dinham
University Teaching Hospital, Jos.
While confirming Aboy's death to our
correspondent on the telephone, the Plateau
State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP
Abuh Emmanuel, advised people with
criminal tendencies to look for reasonable
ways to make a living.
He said, "The men had gone there to commit
criminal acts. There were three of them. So
when the first thief got electrocuted, the other
two took to their heels. His corpse was
recovered by the police when we got the
information.
"People can see the dangers inherent in going
out for this kind of criminal acts. At the end of
the day, some of them meet their untimely
deaths. So it is advisable that youths stop
these criminal acts and look for responsible
things to do rather than engendering their
lives."
