A yet-to-be-identified young man has been electrocuted when attempting to vandalise a transformer.
The incident happened on Friday near the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) centre in Otukpo, the headquarters of Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State.
The suspected thief had finished vandalising a transformer on a high-tension pole before he was electrocuted when power was suddenly restored by the Jos Electricity Distribution Company (JEDC).
