According to News Agency of Nigeria reports, three people Augustine Dimude, 33, a carpenter, Onyebuchi Ezemokwe, 22 and Chidebere Ezendu, 21 died in Anambra state in an incident which the community suspects foul play. The incident involved a 14-feet under ground water tank in an uncompleted one storey building that belongs to one Alex Muorah, a Lagos-based businessman.
The witness, who gave his name simply as Chukwuebuka, named the deceased as Augustine Dimude, 33, a carpenter, Onyebuchi Ezemokwe, 22 and Chidebere Ezendu, 21. He said that Ezemokwe and Ezendu who were contracted to wash the tank with some chemicals bought by Muorah died of suffocation.
Mr Gilbert Obidiegwu, the Chairman of Umudim kindred, who also confirmed the incident, said that shortly after Ezemokwe went into the water tank, he shouted, prompting Ezendu to go for his rescue.
“Ezendu, who was also trapped, shouted for help which attracted Dimude, a passer-by near the building to go for his rescue, but he too was also caught up.
“The fourth person, Ebere Oraekwe, collapsed on the ladder while trying to rescue the three other trapped persons who later died,” Obidiegwu said.
Obidiegwu said that it took the effort of yet another rescuer who covered his nose with clothes before climbing down the tank to bring out the victims who were rushed to a hospital where they were pronounced dead.
Please sir try and get ur facts right. Instead of smearing someone's name in the mud. It will be wise to remove this story, because there is no atom of truth in it. Thank you.
