According to eyewitnesses, he climbed the pole following a power outage in the area. Unfortunately, power was restored while he was still on the pole, leading to electrocution and his instant death.
“There was a problem with the high-tension poles, so he was called to fix it. The power was out when he arrived, but while working, the electricity was restored, leading to his tragic death,” a local reporter told Accra-based Citi News.
The body was later retrieved and transported to the War Memorial Hospital mortuary in Navrongo.
