Two Power Holding Nigeria Company [PHCN] contract workers were on Saturday night electrocuted in Ibadan, the state capital of Oyo State.
It will be recalled that barely two months ago, five women were also electrocuted at Apata in Ido Local Government Area in the State.
A source told "Daily Post" that the incident occurred when the workers were rectifying an electrical fault at Eleyele, Ido Local Government.
The deceased, it was learnt, were invited by some residents of Omotoso Street, Eleyele, to fix a fault.
They were said to have climbed the pole where a live cable fell on them and electrocuted them.
The workers were said to have died on the spot.
The incident, it was gathered, was reported at the Eleyele Police Division.
Police spokesperson Olabisi Ilebanafor, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), said concerned residents reported the incident to the police.
