A police spokeswoman says at least 10 people were electrocuted when a power cable fell on a bus in Nigeria.
According to the BBC, Twelve others who went to assist the victims suffered severe burns.
Spokeswoman Rita Abbey says the death toll could rise further. An Associated Press cameraman saw around 10 bodies at a local hospital - but police have been unable to confirm how many people were on the bus, and how many survived.
The cable fell during heavy rains in the provincial capital of Port Harcourt on Saturday. The dead are mostly passengers but also include passers-by who were near the bus when the cable fell.
