The beautiful Yewande
It has been reported that a 24-year old nursing mother identified
as Yewande Busari, was electrocuted in Lagos with her 1-year-old son
named Pamilerin strapped to her back on May 6. The child however
survived.
It was gathered that the tragedy was caused by electrical wires
sticking out of a streetlight pole where Yetunde who reportedly did not
use the pedestrian bridge was trying to cross the highway at the Oshodi
area of Lagos state.
Yewande's corpse after the electrocution
The young baby who has since being discharged from a hospital, is currently with his paternal grandparents.
The baby's father, Lekan Akorede, told SaharaReporters.
"Since the accident, he has not stopped crying. Pamilerin was
very fond of his mother and has refused to breastfeed from other mums
who had offered to help."
The 1-year-old who survived the attacked
According to report, the streetlight pole that caused the tragedy
was said to have carried the menace of live wires sticking for a while
but was left unattended by the government and the Ikeja Electricity
Distribution Company in charge of it.
Tunde Busari, an elder brother of the deceased in a phone
conversation with a reporter, lamented the nonchalance of the government
and the electrical company in charge of the streetlights.
"We have not heard anything from the government or seen anybody
from them since my sister died. It was a government property that
killed my sister, but nobody has come to pay us a visit," he said.
