Thief dies in well while trying to steal pumping machine



The man met his tragic end in the early hours of today while trying to steal a pumping machine in a well at 3/5 Modupe Ajayi Close, Alagbado, Lagos State.


Adeboye, 67, the owner of the house, said a Mobile Police officer, Solomon Saint, woke him up around 12 mid night, saying he heard a loud sound of an object that fell into the well.


He added that: “When we rushed out to see what it was, we heard someone’s voice inside the well crying for help so we quickly put a call across to the DPO of Alagbado Police Station, who immediately called in the fire service, but the man died before they could rescue him."
