An unidentified young man has reportedly been electrocuted on a high tension cable belonging to Kano Electricity Company, Newpremises reports.

Ibrahim Shawai, the company spokesman who confirmed the incident said the man was electrocuted in the midnight of Monday.

According to him, the man was electrocuted when power was restored while he was trying to steal the cables.

That is why these boys are busy trying to steal cable from everywhere.

Last week, one idiot died in my area. He wanted to turn of our transformer by force, he threw a chair into the transformer to jam the transformer.

It worked. He successfully tripped of the transformer, when he was about cutting armored cable, the transformer restarted itself, and boom. Lifeless corpse in the morning.

Once they notice a house is empty, they would attack the air-conditioning first, they would steal the coil and everything. Copper is king I swear.
