A baby fell into a well and died instantly on Wednesday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The incident, which occurred at the popular Kampala market located at Asero area of Abeokuta around 4:00 pm, threw the area into mourning.

An eyewitness informed our correspondent that the little boy, simply identified as Ife, a one year and three months old baby died a few minutes after his mother fed her.
The parent of the deceased, Ope and Folake were shocked seeing their only son’s lifeless body on the ground.

According to the eyewitness, “the mother of the boy, Folake, who is in her late 30s is a fashion designer, whose shop is located within the market. While we were in our shops, we just heard a noise that someone is looking for his son and we all came out, only to see that it was Ife that was being looked for.
“We traced him to the side of the well within the market where everybody fetches water for our domestic use. Even the adire (local fabric) traders make use of the water to wash their cloth.

“The remains of the young boy was found in the well and it was so sad. We had to put a call across to his father, who rushed down to meet us here.”
Shop owners within the market had to hurriedly close down as they were all seen calling their children and holding them tight to their sides.

According to the father of the boy, the news of the death of his son was still a great shock to him, saying he had just called his wife a few minutes earlier to ask about the welfare of the young Ife.

“I can’t still believe that Ife has died. I called my wife around 3:30pm to ask about my son and her own business and she told me that my son was sleeping then.

” Not quiet 30 minutes later, I received a call that the same boy that was sleeping about few minutes ago had died. Don’t you see that it was a great shock?” he asked.

The remains of the boy was later brought out from the well and wrapped with a cloth taken away from his mother’s shop.

Sorry ☺

Carelessness his mother.Why allowed the lil boy too wandered around?And nobody notice when the boy plunged into the well ? Something is fishy here

Sad story. When I was a kid in ughelli there was a time the President was about to visit. Us kids went to stand by the side of the road to catch a glimps of him.
My mom sent my brother to call me. She asked me to sit down in a room that when the president would pass she will hear kids cheer and she would take me to go see him. while she was working in the adjacent room Someone opened a back door in the room I was playing in and I heard the voices of kids outside talking excitedly I couldnt bear the suspence and I ran out the back door. As soon as I got to the main road I heard someone call my name and said cross and I did. just then I heard ..........BAAAM! The next time I woke up I was under a school bus.
My mom said a neighbours daughter ran to her and said mommy, mommy, delishpot , delishpot(name interchanged for privacy) . My mom said ah Delishpot is playing in the other room. The girl said no no delishpot has been struck by a bus! My mom did not believe cos just 10 minutes ago she called me in and gave me things to play with in the other room. She then yelled my name No response that was how she knew I was trully not there.

This story is just to tell people who are quick to blame parents, until you have kids you wont understand hoe fast they are and how easily parents come to loosing there kids the moment they look away for a second. Those with kids will feel sorry for this woman knowing it could happen to the best of us.
