A shocking incident has claimed three lives in mysterious
circumstance at Hanik Street, Federal Housing Estate 3-3 Onitsha,
Anambra State. The fourth man, an Hausaman who would have died too while
trying to rescue them, came out with swollen face and said he was
slapped by a spirit.
According to Daily Sun,
eyewitness who narrated the story 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,” our source stated.
When Daily Sun visited the compound, it was a rowdy scene as
everybody wanted to catch a glimpse of what was happening. According to
reports, the owner of the building who is a pastor and had travelled
outside the country and left control of the house in the hands of a
young lady whose name could not be ascertained at the time of writing
this report.
It was gathered that 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.
Confirming the incident, Police Area Commander, Onitsha, Yahaya
Abubakar, an Assistant Commissioner of Police told Daily Sun that
through the combined efforts of security agents and other volunteers,
the three dead bodies were recovered from the well and have been
deposited in a nearby mortuary while investigation into the incident
continues.
