There had been a detached wire lingering on the floor near the Blood Bank Department of the Warri Central Hospital, Warri, Warri South Local Area of Delta State. However, despite several warnings of risk of that wire, nothing was done and that entrapped a victim of 38 who got electrocuted by same wire.
On Tuesday night, 38-year-old Victor from Edo State who was on his way to Lagos from Port-Harcourt on a business trip decided to share the joyful news of the birth of a baby boy of his elder brother's wife. Branching off to the Warri Central Hospital to visit mother and child before he continues his journey to Lagos, he visited the maternity ward of the hospital where he accidentally stepped on the naked wire and got electrocuted.
All attempts to save him were unsuccessful as he was later confirmed dead at the accident and emergency ward of the hospital. Speaking to news men, a nurse in the hospital who pleaded anonymity said she had complained severally about the naked wire:
“I told them that the naked wire will kill somebody one day but they
did not listen to me, even when I tried to write, I was advised not to
write by a medical expert."
His body was later abandoned by his family for management of the hospital to take care of.
May his soul rest in peace.
