MainPower Electricity Distribution Ltd has urged Enugu residents to prioritise electrical safety during the rainy season to prevent electrocution, accidents and property damage.
The company’s Head of Communications, Emeka Ezeh, gave the advice on Monday in Enugu after heavy rainfall, windstorms and flooding affected several parts of the state.
Mr Ezeh advised residents to remain indoors during rainfall or seek safe shelter away from electricity infrastructure to minimise exposure to dangerous electrical hazards.
“Customers and residents should remain indoors or seek safe shelter during rainfall,” he said.
He warned residents against taking refuge beneath trees or standing close to electricity poles, power lines and other electrical installations during storms.
