The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service on Tuesday rescued an 84-year-old man who fell into a deep well at Aboru, Agbado Oke-Odo LCDA. The agency said it received a distress call at 10:09 a.m. and deployed officers from the Abesan Fire Station, who arrived at the scene by 10:20 a.m.
According to the Controller General, Margaret Adeseye, the victim was recovered from a well about 140 feet deep. “Preliminary observations suggest a suspected case of attempted suicide, as the well was adequately protected and securely covered,” she said, adding that the man was handed over to family members as investigations continue.
