20 people killed by electrocution in Nigeria
PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria — A police spokeswoman says at least 20 people were killed after a cable fell on a bus and electrocuted the passengers inside.
Spokeswoman Rita Abbey says the death toll could rise further. An Associated Press cameraman saw more than 10 bodies at a local hospital.
The electrical cable fell during heavy rains in the provincial capital of Port Harcourt. The dead are mostly passengers but also include passers-by who were near the bus when the cable fell.
