An official of Ikeja Electric Plc has been rescued after suffering an electric shock while reportedly carrying out repairs on a power pole in the Gbagada area of Lagos State.
The incident, which occurred at Gbagada Bus Stop, triggered panic among onlookers and commuters as rescue operations commenced on the elevated ladder.
In the video circulating on social media on Thursday, two fellow IKEDC field workers were seen struggling to safely lower the victim, who appeared stuck on the ladder.
Despite his head facing downwards and his lower body constrained, the victim could be seen moving his arms and body while his colleagues worked to free him.
