Lethal Naïveté

A man tried to steal copper wire from an electric transformer in Kaduna, Nigeria. Totally unaware of the fact that it was a live wire, it took his life away by electrocution.

The next morning he was dangling from the transformer scaffold for the whole neighborhood to behold. Hopefully some more people will heed advice about the dangers of electricity before setting out for a stealing spree.
