Osaki Diri, a Media Aide to the member representing Degema state Constituency, Rivers State House of Assembly, has died.
Reports say Osaki Diri was electrocuted on Thursday.
“His phone was charging when a call came in. He picked the call while it was charging and got electrocuted,” an eyewitness said.
“His wife saw him and tried helping but the electric threw her away,” the source added.
Hours before his death, Osaki released a press statement on Facebook for his local government council and engaged with friends on their posts.
