According to a statement on Friday by the spokesperson for the Kano State Fire Service, Saminu Abdullahi, the incident occurred during the re-digging and repair of the well.

The collapse was reported by a local resident, Bashir Namadi, who alerted the fire service to the emergency.

“Three people were involved: one inside the well and two outside. The sides of the well gave way, causing it to collapse and bury all three individuals,” the statement revealed.

The emergency rescue team arrived at the scene around 12:20 p.m. and managed to save two individuals alive. However, Yusuf Nadabo, a 50-year-old man, was recovered unconscious and later pronounced dead.

The rescued individuals were handed over to the ward head of Gargajiga town for further attention.

This incident comes just a week after another building collapse in northwest Delhi. On August 2, three people were killed and four others injured when a portion of a two-storey building in Jahangirpuri’s D Block gave way. The building, which housed three separate factories, collapsed due to weakened structural integrity caused by seepage. Emergency services, including the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), worked tirelessly to manage the aftermath.

Both incidents highlight the ongoing issues with building safety in the area, particularly concerning older structures compromised by environmental factors.
