Yes, unfortunately both men died according to a LIB source at the scene who sent in the pics. The first one climbed the pole to fix the light and got electrocuted. And his colleague climbed up to see if he could bring the dead man down, but he was also electrocuted. How unfortunate!

Before helping someone in distress, secure your own safety first.

Sad. So EDC didn't put safety measures in place? What idiocy from EDC. The families of the deceased should sue.

Are they not trained, how would the second try such.

Reminds me of a scenario where 4-5 Engineers lost their life in a confined space, after the 1st guy collapsed in less than a minute, they kept jumping in afterward.

RIP to them sha...

Too bad.. This is becoming too rampant oh.. Do these people even have safety department at all where pep talk is delivered before a job of this nature is done?

Too bad

Poor contingency plan and a poor way to die, more especially for the second who sheepishly went to rescue a dead man instead of waiting for help.

100th foolish way to die, I feel for the families

RIP to the dead...

Please bury them beside the poles.

There are incidences such as this one from time to time in Nigeria.?

The increasing mishaps across the the geography called Nigeria is spiritual, it's hard to defeat those who says the problem lies in the fact that Nigeria is not a God's creation.
