Lagos Fire Service rescues 63-year-old plumber trapped in 120-meter-deep well
In a daring operation, the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service saved a 63-year-old plumber, Akin Kuboye, who became trapped in a 120-meter-deep well while working behind a bungalow on Sunday morning.
The fire fighter said that distress call was received at 9:54 a.m., reporting the incident at 20 Muyibi Adebayo Street, off Agric Road, Egan-Igando.
The well, located on a 648-square-meter property housing a 14-room bungalow, posed significant challenges due to its depth and the presence of ammonia gas.
The Ejigbo Rescue Crew of the Lagos Fire Service responded swiftly, launching an intense rescue mission.
The victim was handed over to the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS), which provided immediate medical care to counter the effects of harmful gas inhalation.
Kuboye was later transported to the hospital for further treatment.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances leading to the incident.
