Tragedy as PTI final year student dies while installing solar panels

Tragedy struck on Thursday afternoon as a final year student of Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun, Delta State got electrocuted while installing solar panels.

Wakadaily learnt that the tragic incident took place in a business location close to a commercial bank at the Warri Garage Area on Thursday, October 19.

An eyewitness said the student used an aluminium ladder to climb up to the position he intended to install the solar panels, which came in contact with the high-tension wires linking a commercial bank.

Passers-by on noticing the ugly development, immediately  used a long dry plank to hit the aluminium ladder thus successfully detaching it from the vibrating high-tension wires, to which the young man had stuck unconsciously.

The deceased who was said to be writing his final project at the time of the incident was instantly rushed to a nearby private clinic for treatment.

The young man reportedly gave up the ghost shortly on arrival at the clinic.

The remains of the final-year PTI student who resided with his parents at the nearby Bowen Avenue area have been reportedly laid to rest.
