An alleged diesel thief has died Monday morning after he was electrocuted by an electric barbed fence in Plateau while trying to steal diesel from a compound. The suspect, Mr. John Aboy, and two other men had attempted to get into the compound they planned to steal the diesel around 3am before Aboy who led the group was electrocuted.

On seeing what happened, the two other men took to their heels and left Aboy to his faith. Aboy was later found hanging dead on the electric fence in the morning by passersby and residents of the area.

Police on patrol were said to have arrived the scene and took the hanging corpse away. Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abuh Emmanuel, advised people with criminal tendencies to look for reasonable ways to make a living, saying crime does not pay and this is what ends it.
