A 15-year-old boy in Ekiti has died after
being electrocuted while listening to music
on his phone.
Junior Abia plugged in his phone to charge at
about 2pm on August 8 and at the same time
stuck in his earpiece while at home with his older
brother, Chibuzor.
A jolt of electricity then surged through him and
all his brother's attempts to remove the earpiece
were in vain.
Chibuzor eventually called in neighbours to help
and Junior was taken to a hospital but it was too
late.
The mother of the deceased victim told reporters
that her son wouldn't have died if there was an
adult around.
