Taiye Ojo, a 13-year-old girl, on Saturday, July 8, 2023, got electrocuted to death in her residence in the Makoko area of Yaba, Lagos State.
According to eyewitnesses, Taiye was on her way to the toilet inside her compound when she saw the dog who started barking at her. Terrified that the dog might attack her, Taiye began to run. As she was running, she accidentally touched the outdoor unit of an air conditioner and she was electrocuted.
Neighbours who saw her fall immediately rushed her to the hospital where she was confirmed dead on arrival. The victim has since been buried according to Islamic injunction.
