“Our heartfelt condolences goes to the bereaved families. May God give the families the courage to bear the loss.
“We also sympathize with those who sustained injuries and wish them quick recovery”, he said.
The COO who expressed displeasure over the incident, has assured the community that the said feeder has been isolated to ensure that lives and properties are secured, adding that an investigation team has been constituted with a view to finding out the remote and immediate causes of the accident.
He however, urged the residents to remain calm and law abiding and to accord the team the necessary support during the investigation.
Engr. Achife thanked the law enforcement agencies who responded quickly and ensured that the victims were taken to the Teaching Hospital.
His appreciation also goes to the Cross River State Governor, His Excellency, Ben Ayade, who through his deputy came to the scene of the incident and calmed the nerves of the affected community.
He uses this opportunity to further inform members of the public and indeed the customers, to always adhere to safety rules by not erecting any structure under PHED high tension lines.
It will be recalled that UNICAL 11kv feeder snapped yesterday night at Akpanden Street, Atimbo, Calabar, resulting to the death of 7 persons and 11 others injured.
Meanwhile, the corpses have been deposited in the mortuary, while the survivors are currently receiving medical attention at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital .
