A member of staff of the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, identified as Effiong Joseph has been electrocuted.
The deceased and his colleague, one Michael Udosen, were reportedly trying to reconnect an armored cable that had earlier been vandalised near the language laboratory of the institution’s town campus when the incident happened on on Thursday afternoon, January 28.
Effiong died on the spot while Udosen is still unconscious after being rushed to the University Teaching hospital for treatment.
