Monday 4th Oct.2021: Four members of the El-Adonai Evangelical Ministry (Aladura), were electrocuted dead on Sunday after a high tension cable snapped on Jibowu Street, in the Abule Egba area of Lagos State.
According to a report by Punch Metro,It was gathered that the church was preparing for its thanksgiving service when the incident happened around 7am.


Reports have it that the victims wanted to change the church’s flag when the pole holding the flag touched the high tension cable and snapped.
We also gathered that six persons were involved in the incident, but two were resuscitated, while four others died.
A witness, who identified himself simply as Jamiu, said the deceased were two adults and two children.

He said, “We were inside the house when the incident happened around 7am. We thought it was gas that started the fire at first because the church was preparing for its thanksgiving.
“But when we came out, we saw that the church’s pole touched the high tension wire and it snapped and electrocuted the people under it. Four of them died; two adults and two children. They were trying to change the flag on the pole because the one there was torn.”
