3 men die inside a well in Onitsha (graphic photos)

Three men tragically lost their lives inside a well at No. 1, Hanik Street, Trans Nkisi Federal Housing, 33, Onitsha, Anambra State. According to reports, the first man was hired to dig a well deeper in a bid to find water when he mistakenly slipped and fell on Monday.

His relative, Mr Usai, 32, jumped into the well in a bid to rescue him but also lost his life in the process. A third person tied a rope around his waist before jumping into the well to rescue them but quickly came out with bruises, claiming that there were forces inside the well that was 'slapping and boxing' him.



The fourth person who claimed he could rescue them as he had black power but demanded 100,000 didn't make it out alive.

It was also reported that their corpses were later retrieved from the well on Tuesday after sacrifice of ram and a cock was sent to a native doctor.

Speaking at the scene of the incident, the The Vice Chairman, Nigerian Red Cross,Anambra state Peter Katchy said, “We don’t know the cause of their death yet, whether it was a gaseous substance that killed them or not. So we call for more investigation to unravel the mystery.”
