A yet to be identified man has been electrocuted while trying to steal transformer cables in Lambu village in Tofa Local Government Area of Kano, IGBERETV reports.

It was gathered that the incident happened in the early hours of Wednesday morning, 19th January 2022.

A resident of the village, Naziru Lambu, told Daily Trust that the man who was electrocuted had already succeeded in removing some of the cables in the transformer and kept them near the transformer.
