Two brothers have been killed in a sewage tank in Kano State.
In the process, Musa Abdullahi, about 27 years old, was trapped inside, while his partner and brother, Abdullahi Rabiu, about 17 years old, made attempts to rescue his brother but he too, like his brother was unfortunately trapped in the soak-away inner chamber.
According to the statement, the fire fighters swung into action at the end of which they successfully rescued both brothers but they were unconscious and promptly rushed them to the Murtala Mohammed Specialist hospital, where on arrival, the Doctors on-call duty at the Emergency ward pronounced both brothers dead.
Meanwhile, the remains of both victims have been handed over to one Inspector Abubakar Alhassan of Sabon Gari Police Division to trace and hand over to their immediate family. The cause of the incident was attributable to a high degree of temperature and lack of oxygen inside the soakaway pit.All rights reserved.
