A father of two, identified as Amas, tragically lost his life on Friday after being electrocuted on a high-tension pole near the Ekeki Police Station on Azikoro Road in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital. Amas, who was not an employee of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), was attempting to connect clients to the federal power line when the fatal incident occurred.

Due to the poor power supply in the state, residents prefer the federal line, which provides 12-13 hours of stable power daily. Amas, originally from Nembe Local Government Area, was reportedly stuck on the pole for hours before PHCN officials arrived to retrieve his body.

An eyewitness, Michael Orubo, lamented the loss, saying, “Amas lives on our street and handles most of the connection work in this area. Why has death come to him in such a way? He just left us playing a chess game and said he would be back, but he never returned.”

Another eyewitness recounted, “He passed me not more than five minutes after the rain stopped. The next thing I heard was people screaming. We rushed to the scene but couldn’t help because he was strapped tightly to the pole and it was still raining.”

It took hours for PHCN officials to arrive and bring down Amas’s lifeless body. His mother, who has a shop nearby, was devastated and couldn’t bring herself to see his body. The community is now consoling her as they mourn the loss of Amas, who was described as easygoing and a devoted father.

Amaka Clears Air on Toronto Police Interaction, Denies Arrest Claims. Amaka has refuted recent media reports, claiming she was arrested and detained by Toronto police. According to Amaka, she was not charged with any crime. Instead, she was invited by the police following a report from the Nigerian government. During her interaction with Canadian authorities, Amaka presented video evidence demonstrating that her actions were in response to threats against the Igbo nation in Nigeria from some people of Benin and Yoruba descent. After reviewing the evidence, the police concluded that she had no further questions to answer and allowed her to leave.

At the same time, the Canadian government used the opportunity to call on the Nigerian government to address its internal tribal issues through peaceful and amicable solutions.

Madam Abike Dabiri, so tribalism and hate towards the Igbos did not allow you to review the video evidence before writing to Canadian authorities. You concluded because you heard Amaka, and of course, she must be “Omo-igbo.”
