A middle-aged man whose name has not been revealed has been electrocuted while destroying a campaign billboard of Adebayo Adelabu, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

A video of the incident which has gone viral, showed the victim lying on the ground while passersby watched his lifeless body.
