Late Joy Nwabueze

A 17-year-old girl, Joy Amarachi Nwabueze has been electrocuted in Portharcourt, Rivers State.

GRASSROOT REPORTERS gathered that the teenage girl was electrocuted while cleaning the church she attends on Sunday evening, October 31, 2021.

A member of the church who pleaded anonymity told GRASSROOT REPORTERS that the girl was electrocuted while cleaning the fan inside the church auditorium.

"She was full of life that day. She told me she was going to church to clean. I later learnt that she has been electrocuted by the fan inside the church while cleaning it".

Meanwhile, friends of the late teenage secondary school leaver took to Facebook to mourn her death.
