A yet-to-be-identified man was, on Sunday, found dead on an electricity pole in Kobape area of Abeokuta, Ogun capital.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that residents of the area could not say when or why the man decided to climb the pole.
They could also not prove that he was an official of any electricity generating or distribution company.
While many said that the man must have climbed the pole to commit suicide by getting himself electrocuted, others opined that he might be on a mission to steal cables.
A witness, who did not want his name mentioned, said: “We woke up this morning to see the corpse of the man on the electricity pole.
“The death of the man is mysterious; we don’t know how he died. Maybe he wanted to commit suicide or he wanted to steal cables, only God knows”.
