Bodies of four Higher National Diploma graduates, including two brothers, are currently in a hospital in Kabba, Kogi State.
The four, including two brothers, reportedly died inside a well they were digging on contract.
The incident was said to have happened at Zango quarters in Kabba on Monday night.
The deceased persons whose names were given as David, Sunday, Ayo and Ogbekedo were well known for their specialty in digging wells in the area.
A primary school teacher, Mrs Agnes Baiyere, had allegedly hired one of the deceased, David, to dig a well in front of her newly constructed building in the area.
“David then invited three other of his colleagues to execute the job. They were said to have dug the well up to about 25 feet for about a week and even plastered the outer part of the well when two of them went back last night to evacuate some broken blocks that fell into the well.
“However, when one of them entered the well, he was said to have complained of dizziness which led to the other person quickly coming to the aid of his friend, but the two were mysteriously trapped into the well and could not come out.
The remaining two men rushed to the scene and attempted to rescue their trapped colleagues. Sadly as they got into the well, they were trapped in the well and could not come out,” a report added.
