A yet-to-be-identified suspected cable vandal has been electrocuted at Jabi, Abuja.
A witness, Solomon Israel, said the incident happened on Tuesday, around 9 am when the deceased lifeless body was found behind the cable.
He alleged that the suspect used a plier to cut the underground cables and got electrocuted instantly.
He said the lifeless body of the deceased was discovered by some passersby who immediately alerted policemen around Jabi and they drove to the scene and evacuated the corpse.
