A person simply identified as Saidi, whose marriage is scheduled for Dec. 21, was on Thursday night electrocuted while sitting on a moving passenger-train. The incident occurred while the overloaded Lagos-Ogun train was heading for Iju from Agege, both in Lagos.
Saidi came in contact with an electrical wire that passed through the rail line. He, however, did not die but laid on the top of train, panting, and was brought down at Iju Train Station by several other passengers. The train was delayed at the station to enable the man to be brought down.
