Seven miners have lost their lives after a mining pit gave way at Kassa community in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State on Wednesday evening.
Residents told The PUNCH in Jos on Thursday that the collapse happened at around 7pm while the miners were actively working at the site.
A community member, Albert Danlami, explained that the victims became trapped underground when the ground caved in, triggering a rescue effort by residents and fellow miners.
