Residents at the  Abadina Staff Quarters in the University of Ibadan have been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of a 15-year-old boy who was electrocuted on Monday.
The boy simply identified as Martins was said to have met his untimely death when he went to switch electricity supply from a generating set to regular  supply.
Martins said to be in Junior Secondary School 3 died on the spot after frantic efforts to save him proved abortive.
A resident identified as Mummy Ruth said "The incident occurred about 8pm. There was no regular power supply so his parents told him to switch on the generator. Shortly after he switched on the generator,the regular power supply was retored and Martins ran to switch over. However,while he was  returning to the regular power supply,Martins felt electrical vibrations all over his body. He  started shouting "Mummy,Mummy ,help help". His mother and others ran to Martins but they were lost about what to do. I learnt they started pouring water on the boy. He could not survive it. He died on the spot"
Another resident who identifed herself as Joy Ibe said. "Martins was a good ,hardworking  boy. He was in JSS 3 when he died. Its sad we lost him in such a tragic death. He was preparing for his final exams slated for Wednesday before he met his tragic death"
