DAILY POST gathered that one of the deceased had attempted to retrieve his cell phone which fell into the well while he was fetching some water to cook. “He fell into the well and couldn’t return and we guess his partner had also attempted to save his colleague when he also fell into the well and died,” the man who didn’t want his name mentioned said.
Our correspondent witnessed how the five hired Hausa men brought up the bodies of the two men. The Hausa men had to tie ropes on their necks before drawing their bodies out of the deep well.Meanwhile, policemen attached to the Emure divisional police station, have commenced investigations into the incident.
