A man died on Monday morning after he was electrocuted by an electric barbed fence after allegedly trying to attempt diesel from a compound in Nigeria, the Punch's Metro section reported.

Two other suspects ran away after seeing their accomplice shocked.

The Metro report quoted Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abuh Emmanuel as saying:  "The men had gone there to commit criminal acts. There were three of them. So when the first thief got electrocuted, the other two took to their heels.
