Lightening strikes, kills two brothers in Jos (photos)

It was a tragic day yesterday in Bayan Tasha, Ungwan Rogo, Jos when two members of the same family were killed when lightening struck during the early morning rain.

The siblings, named Salihu Danjuma Ibrahim and Salisu Ibrahim died on the spot when they were electrocuted after a series of bizzare chain reactions occured after the lightening strike.

According to Bello Lukman who shared the tragic news

The lightening caused the 33 Kv high tension wire above to spark, this came with a heavy sound with the wire coming down to the ground. Scared, the two brothers ran out of this closed shop and unfortunately, the wire had caused current to pass through the water. Immediately they stepped out, they were electrocuted and died. They had since been buried according to Islamic rites. May Almighty God forgive them their sins and grant them paradise. Ameen /Amen.
