Two Youths Died when a deep well they dug for mining activities collapsed on them in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State.

The Incident happened at Shikpeshe, along Buya Road on Tuesday, March 19, 2024.

The two youths suffocated to death inside the mining well while three others were injured and are currently receiving treatment in a hospital.

Reports from locals alleged that a certain rare mineral known as Tourmaline was discovered in the area by some illegal miners who engaged the youths of the community to exploit it.

It was gathered that the youths had spent about four months digging the well up to an unverified but precarious depth.

Reacting to the incident, the Cross River State Governor, Governor, Bassey Otu, sympathized with the families of the victims.

Men are really doing odd jobs just to make ends meet.
Shout out to all the men out there, our hustle go surly pay

With this hard hustle and grinding, Remi Tinubu come dey talk dust . It's well with Nigerian youths

Mining ⛏️ has been taking the life of many, the people that employed them won't even agree to enter the said well. To be sincere with you, i won't dare to enter the well I saw there.

Making money 💰 to prove enemies wrong and impress dem babes .....

To be a man is not beans o.....

Rest on Heros....

You tried your best to make mama proud...

May God grant him enternal rest and the bereaved family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Kudos to our dear men doing all kinds of hustling just to meet the end.

Poverty in d midst Of plenty. This is best description of Nigeria. Sometimes, I wonder how Europe will look like if oil and mineral are discovered there. It may be extended from ground,may be 50km above

APC e rats will Blame PDP and Peter Obi

May their souls rest in peace, amen

After all these husstles to feed and cloth the other weak gender them go still get mind to dey rub shoulders with us..nonsense

RIP to them

Mining requires a great technique. If there is a slight mistake, you have dug up your grave.

In Obey's voice... A njade lo loni eledumare
oun taa je la nwalo baba
maje kapade oun ti yio jewa

RIP to the dead

Maybe the military will go there and kill the community members

Sotey we no come dey see news from Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe to joke about. The calamities in this country since buhari took over had diminished our sense of humour.

Ifthere was no oil, FG would have taken mining more seriously.

Uhmm. Illegal mining

God has blessed this country. Cross River got the lowest amount from the last federal allocation and yet the state is so blessed with natural resources that illegal miners are stealing away. When can that state ever get a governor like duke again

Mining is a dangerous affair. Life goes on.

Millions die!

Millions are born!

Na so life be!

Some are joyful while some are mourning!

Hmm

If government seems to be failing us in terms of good governance every citizens deserves, then we must do well so as not to fail ourselves.

AntiChristian:
Millions die!

Millions are born!

Na so life be!

Some are joyful while some are mourning!

God Almighty Help Us
