On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, a young electrician in his early 30s who was only known as Alaye Electricals unfortunately died after being electrocuted while trying to repair a power problem on a utility pole close to Navrongo Secondary School.
Witnesses said that as the electrician climbed the pole to fix the problem, there was a power outage. Unfortunately, he was electrocuted instantly when the electricity was restored while he was working.
On March 9, Anupuo, a local reporter, confirmed the incident to Citi News, stating, “There was a problem with the high-tension poles, so he was called to fix it. The power was out when he arrived, but while working, the electricity was restored, leading to his tragic death.”
Reportedly, the body was later retrieved and transported to the War Memorial Hospital mortuary in Navrongo.
