Category: Crime News
The Head of Corporate Communications, EEDC, Mr Emeka Ezeh, identified the deceased as Tochukwu Onah (alias Toshiba), a barber and an indigene of Ede-Oballa Community (the same community where the transformer is located).
He described the incident as very unfortunate, one which had cut the young man’s life short at its prime.
Hew said the lifeless body of the vandal suspect was found within the space of a distribution transformer belonging to the EEDC in the early hours of Saturday, Jan. 14, at Ede-Oballa community, Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State,
According to him, it was suspected that the unfortunate vandal was electrocuted while attempting to vandalise the distribution transformer which already had some of its cables severed.
Ezeh recalled the numerous cases of vandalism recorded by the company in 2022, which negatively impacted not just the quality of service to its customers, but also its revenue.
He, therefore, called on the public, especially those who are quick at pointing accusing fingers at employees of the company to also look inwards, as some of the perpetrators of these attacks might be residing within the neighborhood or community.
