Cable thief dies on a 33,000-volt high tension pole

The young man who was only identified as Fatau had been found on the pole begging and promising to even pay residents if they could save him.

Residents reportedly said they notice a bright spark at about 2 a.m and decided to go out to figure out what could have caused the spark, only to come across the incident.

Myjoyonline.com reported some residents as having told Luv FM that "He was begging and promising us, he will give us some money if we brought him down."
