All of a sudden, he caught fire on top of the pole.
According to his friend Jonah, whiles Mr Agyei was burning he could not help because he also had a power shock and was thrown into a gutter helplessly but people arrived a few minutes later at the scene and he, Jonah instructed them to look for a dried wood to kick the deceased, Agyei Kweku from the pole.
He sadly revealed that by the time he dropped, Agyei was burnt and dead.
The second wife of the deceased, Madame Regina Mantey, admitted she lost her husband on that fateful Monday. She recounted the last moment she spent with her husband saying "the man was very lovely as usual and gave money to prepare a special dinner for us to enjoy when he returns from an errand, only to be informed later that Agyei Kweku my husband is dead".
He left behind two wives and two children.
His charred body is deposited at Worawora government hospital.
