A high tension cable of the PHED somewhere around the Rivers State University school campus has killed a student.
The student – a female was electrocuted and her body was found lying lifeless close to the schools main gate shuttle park, while she was trying to move across an erosion after a heavy rain that started in the early hours of Tuesday.
According to Victor Briggs, “the erosion she was trying to get across had a high tension wire in it as a result of a pole that fell during the rain.
The Deceased had no idea there was a wire in the water.”
It was also gathered that men of the PHED was contacted on Monday, the day the electric pole fell but all efforts to get them address the situation was fruitless.
According to reports, the total number of reported students death cases on campus has been summed up to three since the beginning of the semester in the Rivers State University, Port Harcourt.
