Upon scrutiny, Mr Agyei and his friend, Jonah Agbemedu suspected faulty high tension, for which the former climbed the pole with the support of a ladder.
“It was during his climbing stage that all of a sudden he caught fire on top of the pole,” the witness recounted.
According to his friend, while the now deceased was burning, he could not help because he also had a power shock that threw him helplessly into a gutter.
