Residents of the area were woken up by shout of help from the young man around 2.am on last Night only to behold the teenager hanging between the high tension cable after he had suffered shock and first degree burns
Asemanya said the teenager who had removed the lower cable climbed the PHCN pole to vandalize the upper cable when his leg touched a line which caused a spark and fire which spread over his body while he persistently shouted for help.
Residents had wanted to lynch the vandal but for his quick intervention and assistance by men of the fire service, the police and officers and men of the civil defence corps who were on hand to assist recover the vandal.
The suspect is receiving medical attention at the Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi where he lied critically ill with no one coming to identify him. - Vanguard.
