According to Happy FM, the body was left unattended from about 5 am when the thunderstruck to about 9 pm in the evening. When the event happened, the police did not even want to touch the body because they said it was caused by thunder so if certain rites aren’t performed, there is no way they can touch the body. A 23-year-old identified as Naomi was killed by a thunder strike in the Nkwanta North District of the Oti region, after some rains. Sources have it that she relocated from the Northern region to the Oti region after her husband had promised to help her learn a trade in the Oti Region. While some sections of the town believe that the metallic object she held attracted the thunder strike, some also believe she was struck by the thunder as a result of a curse placed on her by some unknown persons.
