A 25 years old, die-hard member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) member, Jamilu Tukur has been electrocuted while he was hanging pictures of President Buhari and Governor Mohammad Badaru on an electric pole.

According to Premium Times, the Leader of Kudai community in Dutse Local Government Area of Jigawa state, Yusif Mohammad while explaining the incident, described the deceased as a die-hard member of APC. He said:

“He has contributed a lot towards the development of the party, he was not among the people that were selected to paste the banners, he suddenly appeared and agreed to climb and hoist the banner.”

The father of the deceased, Mr Tukur also reacted to his son’s sudden death and said, it God’s will. He said:

“No one can change what Almighty God has destined to happen, the late Jamilu is a good Samaritan loved by all.

“The number of people that registered their condolence in my house is a justification that my late son has a good rapport with people. My thanks go specifically to Governor Mohammad Badaru for sending me N100.000 and Dutse council chairman for the gift of N15.000 and two bags of rice, one carton of Spaghetti, and a gallon of cooking oil.”
