Residents of Hanik Street, Federal Housing Estate 3-3 Onitsha, Anambra State were recently thrown into mournful mood, following the death of three men in a borehole, DailySun reports.

Eyewitnesses said the locally dug borehole developed fault and a young lady, who lived in the building, invited a man to recover the sumo for repairs. 
Unfortunately, the man got trapped inside the hole while every effort to rescue him failed.
“They called for help and a fellow Calabar man went inside to help bring out his kinsman but got trapped as well. Some minutes later, an Hausa man living around the area also volunteered to enter the well to rescue the trapped men, although at the cost of N100, 000 which the residents agreed to pay but the man never came out .

It would have been four dead bodies because a fourth person entered but he was lucky to come out alive though he complained of receiving a strange slap from the spirits inside the hole. He came out with swollen face and is in critical condition, presently,” the source stated.
It was gathered that the owner of the building is a pastor and had travelled outside the country. After several efforts to rescue the trapped men, some residents resorted to prayers while others began incantations and offered sacrifice of goats and fowls to appease the gods so that the victims would be brought out alive but all were in vain.
Officials of the National Emergency management agency later helped to evacuate the bodies.
 The cause of their death was attributed to the lack of oxygen as the person that finally evacuated the dead bodies succeeded because oxygen was repeatedly injected into the borehole.
