A 38-year-old electrician has died while fixing a faulty streetlight at Kona in the Ashanti Region.
According to a media report, the incident happened at about 5 p.m, Friday.
The deceased, Kwadwo Banahene, climbed a wooden electric pole located behind the Kona mosque to work and in the process was electrocuted, his brother, Kwame Owusu told the police.
Reports say bystanders managed to bring him down when police officers arrived at the scene.
