Abuja Electricity Company Fined N18 Million Over Electrocution Of Eight Years Old Girl
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has been sanctioned for negligence that resulted in the electrocution of an eight-year-old girl, Faith Yakubu, at Anguwan Dodo, Gwagwalada, in the Federal Capital Territory.
The electricity distribution company was found guilty of the offence and fined N18 million by the regulatory authority, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
The Commission said the accident occurred when a staff of AEDC disconnected the wires feeding the residence of one of its consumers over alleged non-payment of accumulated electricity bills.
The disconnected electricity wires were left loosely on the ground by a technical staff without disconnecting the source of electricity supply from the transformer.
The Commission said little Faith had, unknown to her, grabbed the naked wires with her bare hands in an attempt to cross over them while running an errand for the parents.
The child was electrocuted along with a four-month-old boy she strapped on her back.
