Tragedy struck in Owanta Alosimi area of Ika North East Local Government Area as 15 years old Vivian Monye was electrocuted while assisting her father in cleanup exercise after the flood that wrecked havoc in their rented apartment.
According to the father of the deceased, Mr Moses Monye, the late Vivian was assisting him alongside the twin brother to bail out water that took over their apartment after the heavy downpour when suddenly the Benin Electricity Development Company [BEDC] restored power to the area.
He said that the spark that resulted caused panic and while they ran out the daughter got stuck and before they could give any assistance she had given up the ghost.
Vivian who was a student of the community secondary school, the father noted, was the only daughter and had been coping in their upbringing since he lost the wife five years ago.
