“We always have people stealing cables and making away with it, but unfortunate for this man he got stuck and electrocuted,” he said.

He blamed city authorities for failing to prevent such occurrences by properly securing the power box.

“After being notified of the incident, I had to rush to the police station as well as get officials from the Electricity Company of Ghana to put off the main power to prevent another fatality,” he added.
