One Mr. Edafe was today killed by a thunderbolt during a downpour in Benin, Edo State.



It was gathered that the deceased was working at a building site around the Cattle Market in Asoro Hill, on Ekehuan Road, when the rain started, leading him to take refuge in a nearby uncompleted building.



The thunderbolt was said to have displaced all who took shelter in the building, striking and leaving Edafe dead instantly.
