After being electrocuted by a transformer owned by the Electricity Company of Ghana, Prosper Gyasi, a 22-year-old man, is fighting for his life at the Twifo Praso District Hospital in the Atimorkwa District of the Central Region (ECG).


The man, who is thought to be in his 20s, was electrocuted at Twifo Praso New Market after climbing an ECG Transformer pole beside SUNTURK supermarket, according to a report by the police. They received a distress call at around 6:00am on Monday, the report stated.






The man had significant burns and other injuries of varying degrees on his face, head, legs, and hands when the police arrived on the scene in a hurry.
