The Police Command in Lagos State has confirmed the death of a 17-year old boy, who was electrocuted while working with his step-father at a building construction site.

The Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday.

Hundeyin said that the mother of the boy, whose name was not given, reported the case to the Agbado Police Division on Aug. 2, at 1.00 p.m.

He said that the woman reported that at about 12.30 p.m. on the same day, she received a phone call from her younger brother about the incident.

According to the woman, her brother said that her son followed her husband (his step-father), a welder, to build a scaffolding in a building under construction at Church Street, Alagbado.
