A corps member, Peace Bassey, speaks with TEMITOPE ADETUNJI about her near-fatal electric shock in 2015 that left her with a disability and reshaped the course of her life
You made a TikTok post about surviving an incident that could have been fatal and how it eventually led to your disability. Could you walk us through your journey and how everything unfolded?
The incident that led to my disability happened on June 1, 2015. I can still remember that day so clearly. It started like every other normal day. I woke up early, got ready, and headed to work without the slightest idea that my life was about to change forever.
At the time, I was working with a company that sold fairly used phones, so I resumed work as usual that morning. Earlier that day, I noticed that officials of a power distribution firm had come to the company to fix an electrical issue. Everything seemed normal, and business continued as usual, but within seconds, everything changed.
What changed?
