There's palpable fear in Akwa Ibom Community as One Ulim Amos Udo of Udianga Enem village, Etim Ekpo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, died while trying to steal electric cables belonging to the community.
The deceased, who was alleged to be a notorious cultist and a thief has been in the habit of stealing and robbing people of their valuables including livestock.
Our correspondent reported that the electric pole crashed on the suspected cable thief to the ground, killing him in the process.
One of the member vigilante security group, Akpan Effiong Etuk, disclosed to newsmen that the incident occurred at about 2:00am, when the entire community people were already fast asleep.
According to Etuk, “When he climbed the pole, he had no premonition that due to heavy rain in recent times, the ground could be very soft for the pole to be firm enough to carry his weight.
” At the top of the pole, in the process of trying to be very fast in cutting off the cables, he fell down with the collapsing concrete pole, which crashed and heavily injured him."
“His accomplices rushed to his compound, popularly called Ilung – Udoiyong, and alerted the parents, who rushed him to a local traditional bone-setter at Ikot Edet village, in the neighbouring Ukanafun LGA, but unfortunately he died, and was hurriedly buried on Saturday.”
The Police Public Relations Officer , SP Odiko MacDon, when contacted said that the Command has not received such information, adding he would call the DPO in Etim Ekpo local government to confirm the development.
