A yet to be identified middle-aged man has been killed when an electric pole fell on him in Ikare Akoko, the headquarters of Akoko North East Local Government Area of Ondo State.
According to an eyewitness, the pole fell on the deceased while the officials of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company were working to move some electric poles following the ongoing road dualisation in the ancient town.
He said, “The pole fell due to its weakness and it happened when the officials of the BEDC were changing and removing some electricity poles along the road due to ongoing dualisation of Ikare township road by Ondo State Government. As they are doing the work, suddenly, the weak pole fell on the deceased, who was passing by.
He added that the injured BEDC official was rushed to the Ondo State Specialists Hospital Ikare for treatment.
