Woman, toddler among victims rescued from well in Kano

Kano fire service rescues three people from wells

The Kano State Fire Service rescued three people — including an 18-month-old child and an unconscious 40-year-old man — from two separate well accidents in Kumbotso and Warawa LGAs on the same morning. The incidents underscore a persistent infrastructure safety gap in northern Nigeria, where uncovered residential wells continue to cause preventable casualties despite repeated calls from emergency authorities for mandatory well-covering measures.
