Update: See The Face Of Thief Who Got Electrocuted To Death While Trying To Jump A Fence In Kogi State

Photos of the face and lifeless body of a suspected burglar, who was on Friday, electrocuted while attempting to scale the fence into his target’s compound at the Zone 8 area of Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, has emerged.

The tragic incident reportedly took residents by surprise as they were said to have been alerted to the body stuck to an electrified fence.

While speaking to a correspondent, an eyewitness said that the suspected burglar climbed the fence under the cover of darkness at around 2am, as there was no power supply at the time.

The source said power was restored while the suspect was trying to scale the fence and got electrocuted in the process.

Although the suspect’s name and age could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report, residents say he looked like one in his thirties.

Efforts to speak with the state police command for confirmation, however, proved abortive.
