A man who is suspected to be a thief has been put to death through electric shock while allegedly trying to steal a transformer in Abuja, Nigeria.

 A video circulating on show media shows the lifeless body of the man in green shirts and black trousers on a transformer along the Dawaki-Sokale road, Dutse.

Reacting to his death, social media users have ironically congratulated the suspected thief for being bravery.

Below are some of the comments

Although people are just alleging the deceased was going to steal the transformer, no one knows what exactly he was doing there.
