Amaechi’s Wife’s Driver Electrocuted

The Rivers State Government House was thrown into a mourning mood on Saturday following the shocking death of one of the security drivers to Dame Judith Amaechi, wife of

Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

The deceased, Ibiba Jack, in his early forties, was electrocuted while trying to rescue another staff of the Government House who was trapped in a Unclad wire while mowing the grass on sanitation day.

Witnesses said Ibiba used his leg to disentangle the man who was already struggling with a current from a Unclad wire which entrapped the mower blade that he was using to cut the grass, but unknown to him, he was already standing on a live wire which got him electrocuted instantly.

Confirming the sad incident, the Chief of Staff, Rivers State Government House, Chief Tony Okocha who described the death of the convoy driver as “unfortunate” attributed the cause to “carelessness”.
