Woman and teenage girl electrocuted in Lagos

A middle aged woman and her younger sister were on Tuesday electrocuted in Amukoko, a Lagos suburb.
The incident occurred at about 3.00am in the morning when a high tension wire belonging to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria fell on the roof of a house on No 8, Olumokun Street, Amukoko and sparked a fire.
Residents reportedly scampered to different directions to avoid being electrocuted.
However, a 12-year -old girl simply identified as Fatima, said to have visited her elder sister on vacation from Niger State was electrocuted.
Fatima was electrocuted when she ran and held an iron used to stand a canopy.
When her elder sister who neighbours referred to as Mama Ibrahim noticed that Fatima had fallen on the iron and was motionless, she screamed her name hoping she would answer.
But when Fatima did not reply, Mama Ibrahim moved to where the young girl was and tried to rescue her and was also electrocuted.
Tears flowed freely as neighbours who could not salvage the situation watched helplessly as the sisters died.

The National Publicity Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, said his (Gulak) statement saying 'PDP will win if APC picks Buhari in 2015 was the “hallmark” of a dying regime. He said that Buhari was head and shoulder above Jonathan. He said, “Putting Buhari and President Jonathan side by side is like putting light and darkness together. Buhari is head and shoulder above Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who is occupying the nation’s highest seat. “It is Nigerians who will determine who will win the 2015 election, but we know that in a free and fair election, Jonathan does not stand a chance against Buhari. Let him say whatever he wants. “The PDP primaries could be manipulated for the President. We have said it that the PDP will be in the opposition as from 2015.”
