The apartment of the deceased Ezingbe Daniel
"This is a big loss and we are yet to come to terms with his death.
From what we gathered from his family, he was having issues with the
electricity in his house because his landlord cut him off power supply
to his apartment for more than three months and he has been relying on
his generator for power but he was not aware that his landlord had
restored his electricity.
"At first, it was his daughter that went to put on the generator and
the generator almost electrocuted her. She later called her father
that the generator was charged and when she tried to switch it on, the
generator shocked her. That was how her father (Mr. Ezingbe) came to
switch on the generating set but he was electrocuted instantly as he
pulled the rope.
"The shock threw him off balance and slammed him on the floor. He
died on the spot."
The source added that the corpse has been deposited in a mortuary but
the police arrested the unnamed landlord in connection with the death.
