Three persons were on Friday night
electrocuted at the flood victims’ camp at Cavegina Primary School, Warri while
a woman died from snake bite in the riverine area of Delta State.
Daily Sun gathered that the three
persons who were not flood victims died instantly when an electric cable
snapped from a pole and fell on them at the premise of the camp. Consequently,
pandemonium rocked the camp and hundreds of the refugees ran to different
directions for safety as most of them could not bear the sight of the deceased.
It was gathered that two of the dead
were Urhobos while the third was identified as a native of Calabar but their
names could not be ascertained as at press time.
Eyewitness, who spoke with Daily Sun
described as unfortunate the untimely death of the men who they said were just
passers-by. “I have never seen this type of horrible thing in my life. I am
still imagining how these hefty men who did not bargain with death will just
die like that,” said an Ijaw refugee who pointed at the spot of the incident .
Investigation showed that some
victims who were gripped with fear relocated from the camp that night as they were
still shocked by the incident. Meanwhile, a middle-aged woman was bitten to
death by a deadly snake at Gbekebor village in Burutu Local Government Area of
the state.
Daily sun gathered that the woman
was sleeping in one of the rooms that was not flooded but unknown to her, a
deadly snake which came with the flood crept into the room and bit her . It was
further learnt that the woman later died and her corpse and that of the three
men had been deposited at the Central Hospital Morgue.
