Electric current in Ghana is so powerful, it'll kill a horse. What a sad story.
His colleague had his bath without an incedent, and in the same bathroom he was killed. Many questions here.
how can electricity follow Osborn everywhere? the same shower someone just came out of safely, now shocking a person who had once been shocked. hmmmmm, poor osborn.

I DO HOPE ITS NOT RELATED TO THE POWER ISSUES WE ARE FACING IN GHANA WHICH IS RENDERING EVERY ELECTRICAL THING USELESS
