The incident which happened at the Okesa area of Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital has left the people of the community in tears.
Junior’s elder brother, Chibuzor ran into the room as soon as he heard him scream for help. As soon as he got into the room to discover that his brother was lying on the floor, he looked for a stick so he could remove the earpiece from Junior’s ears.
Th Sun reports that when Chibuzor could not remove the earpiece from his brother’s ears, he alerted the neighbours who immediately moved into action to rescue him. The mobile phone was eventually disconnected fromthe power socket, while Junior was quickly taken to the hospital within the area. Unfortunately, he died just before the rescue team could get to the hospital premises.
His body was committed to mother-earth three days after he was confirmed dead. The mother said that all his pictures, clothes, and every other thing that could bring back memories of him have been removed by the family.
