| Little Emmanuel Samuel |
A three-year-old boy, Emmanuel Samuel,
died on Sunday after he fell inside a well in front of a building on
Hassan Sule Street, Ita Oluwo, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos.
The kindergarten pupil, his elder
brother, Timileyin Samuel, and some of their friends were said to be
playing around 3pm in the area when the deceased accidentally strayed
into the well.
PUNCH Metro learnt that
residents and officials of the Lagos State Fire Service, who came to the
area after receiving a distress call, had difficulties rescuing the
victim due to the depth of the well.
Our correspondent gathered that a member
of the Oodua People’s Congress later summoned up courage and went down
the well to rescue the boy at about 7pm. He brought out the boy dead.
It
was learnt that the well was dug about eight years ago by the landlord
of the building but was abandoned when it did not produce water.
Some youths were said to have become
angry with the landlord for leaving the well open. They reportedly
stormed the residence and broke some window glasses.
