A 17 year old boy identified as master Sunday Adegbulu, from Akure, Ondo State, has recounted his experience that resulted from his involvement in vandalizing an electricity transformer.
Adegbulu, who was paraded by Amotekun, a state security organization, revealed that he and two others intended to sell the stolen cable to a sponsor for N25,000.
While speaking with newsmen, Adegbulu admitted to his second operation, stating that they had previously stolen electrical installations from an uncompleted building.
Narrating the incident which led to his severe injuries, he said, “I never knew that there was going to be electricity supply. It’s the handiwork of the devil that pushed me to the crime. Half of my body was burnt when electricity was supplied to the transformer.”
