A yet-to-be-identified 61-year-old man has lost his life after being electrocuted during the flood incident.
The Lagos State Police Command, through the spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the death in a post he shared on his X handle @benHundeyin on Thursday.
He said that the incident happened on Wednesday during a downpour in the Orile-Iganmu area of the state.
“During the rain yesterday in Orile-Iganmu, a 61-year-old man, while wading through the floods, held on to a street light pole and sadly got electrocuted,” the spokesperson said.
Recall that some areas on Lagos state were flooded as a result of the heavy downpour on Wednesday.
Hundeyin urged the public to always stay safe.
