It was a tragic day yesterday in
Bayan Tasha, Ungwan Rogo,
Jos when two members of the
same family were killed when
lightening struck during the early
morning rain. The siblings, named Salihu
Danjuma Ibrahim and Salisu
Ibrahim died on the spot when
they were electrocuted after a
series of bizzare chain reactions
occured after the lightening strike. According to Bello Lukman who
shared the tragic news The lightening caused the
33 Kv high tension wire
above to spark, this came
with a heavy sound with
the wire coming down to
the ground. Scared, the two brothers ran out of this
closed shop and
unfortunately, the wire had
caused current to pass
through the water.
Immediately they stepped out, they were electrocuted
and died. They had since
been buried according to
Islamic rites. May Almighty
God forgive them their sins
and grant them paradise. Ameen /Amen.
