According to an eyewitness, the sad incident happened around 4.45 pm on Christmas Day.
Osun Defender gathered that the technician had been contracted, along with five others, to remove a billboard in the area and replace it with a new one.
The deceased victim was said to have held on to an iron rod while replacing the billboard with another one.
