There was pandemonium in Oju Township of Oju Local Government Area of Benue State as a father, son, and a Hausa trader died in a mysterious well accident while trying to recover a pale-fetcher.

DAILY POST gathered that the mishap began when one of the victims, Mr. Matthew Iji (commonly known as Matthew Ekpengbe), a popular car washer in the town, sent his teenage son to a nearby well to fetch water for him.

Eyewitness sources said the boy, presumably aged between 15-16 years, lost the fetcher into the pit and had stooped into the well in an attempt to remove the fetcher when he met his untimely death.

The source further said the father, alerted by bystanders, also rushed into the pit to rescue his son but had little time before death caught up with him.

According to the source, a Hausa trader who tried to evacuate the bodies of the victims from the well lost his life in what many deem to be a mystery.

The source revealed that the three bodies were rushed to Holy Cross Hospital, Oju, where they were all confirmed dead after efforts by the Chief Medical Director, CMD, of the facility, Joseph Ona, to resuscitate the victims proved futile.

The source added that sympathizers at the scene of the incident believed that the accident was not ordinary, and many alluded to some diabolical attack.

The majority were of the opinion that the well must have contained contaminated air from oil spillage since it was close to a filling station.

An eyewitness said close observation of the deceased bodies did not show evidence of drowning, as their bodies were not noticeably drenched.

The three corpses have already been taken to their respective places for burial.

Efforts to confirm the incident from the Benue State Police Command Spokesperson, SP Catherine Anene, proved fruitless.

Are You From Benue State?

I think bloggers are doing the people of Benue a disservice by reporting too many bad news and ignore positive things that are happening there

Both the good and the bad news should be reported.

And people should desist from making nasty comments about others, let us behave like sane and civilized people.

Too bad. May God rest their souls

May Almighty God, Protect you From bad news

RIP.

There are wells with demonic essence claiming lives of those coming to it, and until such wells are filled after special prayers, Christian or traditional, they will keep claiming lives.
How could a well claim three lives at one period of time?
There is more to this.

When you think a fetcher is more important than your life.

Iriri Aye!

Nobody killed them!

It's just their time to die!

I disagree, everything shouldn't be attributed to demonic influence. One should have nothing to do with water bodies if he or she can't swim. There are professionals trained for such rescue.

I believe the well must be very deep and with much water.

Sad
