A three-year-old girl was electrocuted on Sunday as she played at a church compound in Njiru area, Nairobi.
She was playing with her friends when she touched a naked live wire and died on the spot.
This comes just under a week after three people were electrocuted in three separate incidents in Nairobi following heavy rains.
The victims who included a four-year-old boy touched live wires that were lying unattended, dying instantly.
Nairobi police boss Japheth Koome last week said the wire had been lying low following heavy rains that were experienced in the area.
“The wire was lying low for long and seems not to have been attended to by relevant authorities,” said Koome.
A campaign to discourage residents from making illegal connections is ongoing as incidents of electrocution are common in most city estates.
