Four Men Die In Sewage Pit In Egbu, Imo State by NaijaCover(op): 10:23am On Aug 12, 2024
Egbu residents in Owerri North LGA Imo State have been thrown into deep mourning as four young men lost their lives while attempting to evacuate dungs from a sewage pit at Umunwokoji Umuayalu Village.

DAILY POST gathered that the incident that took mysterious dimensions saw the four workers taking turns to enter into the pit without coming out alive.

According to the information from a resident who doesn’t want his name mentioned, the first person entered the well to evacuate the dungs but was unable to climb out.

In an attempt to rescue him, the second person entered too, followed by the third and fourth persons, all of whom lost their lives under such mysterious circumstances,” the source said.

The remains of the four victims were later evacuated and deposited in the mortuary.

The cause of their deaths is yet to be determined.

An environmental engineer, Sunday Ihekire while commenting on the incident said, “This incident is a tragic reminder of the importance of prioritizing safety protocols while embarking in such potentially hazardous activities.

“Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.”

Meanwhile, a resident who described the incident as a bad omen, disclosed that among the dead was a newly married man with a month old baby.

Humm

There is nothing mysterious about this. This is just gross ignorance of HSE knowledge. A dung pit is a confined space with limited oxygen. The biological actions going on there means presence of other deadly gases like H²S and others.

The correct thing to do is not to rescue the collapse person without breathing apparatus as seen that the rescuer also turned victim.


This is a basic training of confined space in HSE.

And also pour like 20 litres of kerosene a night before evacuation.

Careless death.

God rest their souls.

I think I have read similar news 3 or 4 years ago, so it's still happening or is it an old renewed news?

Never enter a confined space without a harness to winch you out.

Stupidity maybe inherited


Tragedy struck and all this fool can think of is tribalism.

I can only put it down to strong genetic foolishness.

They are supposed to open it completely first,

Put the chemical way dey remove that pungent smell & reduce emissions


Evacuate the watery part either through a pump or using buckets tied with ropes.


Then finally enter the pit to remove the solid waste & making a smaller round hole below.



That's the proper procedure, at least from the guys that do the buildings I preside over
