The incident occurred on August 2, and the details were provided by SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Public Relations Officer for the command.

According to Hundeyin, the boy’s mother reported the incident to the Agbado Police Division at around 1:00 p.m. on the same day. She had received alarming news from her younger brother earlier at approximately 12:30 p.m.

The report indicated that her son had accompanied his step-father, a welder, to help with building scaffolding at a construction site on Church Street, Alagbado.

During their work, the boy accidentally stepped on a live wire that was improperly connected to an electric pole.
