A 24-year-old welder identified as Adedeji was electrocuted to d@ath at Nnamdi Azikiwe Street on the Lagos Island area of Lagos State.

It was gathered that the deceased was working on the site of a two-storey building under renovation on Tuesday evening, October 1, 2024, when the incident happened.

The spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident on Wednesday stated that Adedeji was engaged by his brother to work on the building.

According to the PPRO, Adedeji came into contact with a live electrical source while working on the second floor, resulting in severe burns to both legs.

He added that the force of the electrocution was so strong that his burnt body was flung down to the first floor.

The incident was reported at the Adeniji Adele Police Division by a complainant who offered them the job.

“A complainant reported at the Adeniji Adele Division that his elder brother has a plaza at Nnamdi Azikiwe Street, Lagos Island, which is under renovation and being supervised. A welder engaged his brother, named Adedeji, aged 24, and while working, Adedeji was electrocuted,” Hundeyin said.

“Upon receiving the report, the DPO led the patrol team and detectives of the division to the scene and discovered it’s a two-storey building under renovation. The victim was on the second floor when the incident happened; his two legs were burnt off, and the burnt body was flung down to the first floor.”

Photographs were taken, and the corpse was evacuated to the Yaba General Hospital, where the doctor on duty confirmed Adedeji dead.

“The corpse was deposited at the hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy. Investigation is ongoing,” Hundeyin added.
