Four Higher National Diploma (HND) graduates including two brothers, drowned in a well they were contracted to dig at Zango quarters in Kabba in Kogi state on night Monday April 1st. The deceased persons whose names were given as David, Sunday, Ayo and Ogbekedo were well known for their specialty in digging wells in the area.

According to
reports, a primary school teacher, Mrs Agnes Baiyere, had allegedly
hired one of the deceased, David, to dig a well in front of her newly
constructed building in the area. David then invited three other of his
colleagues to execute the job. They were said to have dug the well up to
about 25 feet for about a week and even plastered the outer part of the
well when two of them went back last night to evacuate some broken
blocks that fell into the well.

However, when one of them
entered into the well, he was said to have complained of dizziness which
led to the other person quickly coming to the aid of his friend, but
the two were mysteriously trapped into the well and could not come out.

The
remaining two men rushed to the scene and attempted to rescue their
trapped colleagues. Sadly as they got into the well, they were trapped
in the well and could not come out.

Members of staff of the Abuja
Electricity Distribution Company, (AEDC), Kabba office, who were around
the area when the incident happened, helped evacuate the remains of the
four deceased persons.

Eyewitness account said as they were been
rushed to the General Hospital, Kabba, one of the deceased opened his
eyes after a pastor prayed for them but he died as they were stepping
into the hospital.

One of the sympathisers said David, who
attended the new month service in his church on the fateful day, just
got married after completing his NYSC last year.

The remains of the deceased were said to have been deposited in the mortuary of the Kabba General hospital.
