A 3-year-old girl, identified as Lydia Azatyom has been reportedly found inside an abandoned well three days after she went missing in Tudun Wada area of Jos, Plateau State.

According to reports, the minor was last seen playing with her friends outside their house on Thursday, October 27, 2022 before she mysteriously disappeared.

All efforts by her family and neighbours to locate her whereabouts proved abortive until three days later, when one Dauda Dung confirmed that she has been found .


According to Tudun Wada Broadcast, some young men found the girl inside the abandoned well in an uncompleted building within the area.

It was gathered that the young men had visited the site to defecate and heard sounds of movement inside the dry well.

It was further learnt that the building has long been abandoned and now used for open defecation and dump.

Lydia sustained bruises around her head and was rushed to the hospital where she is currently receiving for medical attention.

It cannot be ascertained if the girl mistakenly fell into the well or someone dumped her there.

Lots of open Wells on the Plateau. I narrowly escaped falling into one last time

When it is not your time to die, it isn't. Thank God she's still alive.

BTW, I want to know exactly how she got into the well. Police should continue with their investigation.
