Tambacounda : Un jeune de 19 ans tué par la foudre en manipulant son téléphone portable
The end of the rainy season was particularly tragic in the eastern region. In the village of Bokhé Balédié, in the commune of Sinthiou Maléme, department of Tambacounda, 19-year-old Ousmane Ndiaye lost his life on Friday night after being struck by lightning.
The tragedy occurred around 10 p.m., as a violent storm hit the village.
According to several eyewitness accounts, the victim was using his mobile phone when he was struck by lightning. Severely injured by the electric shock, he reportedly died at the scene despite rescue attempts.
This latest tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of thunderstorms and lightning, especially during the rainy season. Residents are urged to take extra precautions during storms, particularly by avoiding the use of electrical appliances and staying away from any structures that could attract lightning.
The precise circumstances of the tragedy have yet to be established by the gendarmerie officers who carried out the usual investigations.
