Man Di€s While Trying to Rescue T%ddler Who Fell Into Well in Lagos.
A tr@gic incident occurred at Abule Egba, Lagos State, on Tuesday, October 20, after a man l%st his life while attempting to rescue a t%ddler who fell into a domestic well.
The incident happened at No. 4, Paul Street, inward Agbe Road. The t%ddler’s mother reportedly worked as a cleaner in the compound where the incident occurred.
According to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), it received a distress call at 9:48 a.m. and immediately deployed its response team from the Igando Base.
A member of the Hausa community in the area reportedly entered the well in a courageous attempt to rescue the ch!ld but became trapped and was later recovered d€@d.
LASEMA, working alongside the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps and the Nigeria Police Force, launched a coordinated rescue operation. However, the depth of the well, high water level and thick mud at the bottom made the operation difficult.
The deceased man’s rem@ins were subsequently handed over to his relatives and members of the Hausa community for burial in line with their customs.
Efforts to recover the t%ddler also proved unsuccessful. Dewatering operations encountered challenges, prompting the deployment of a specialist local diver for a final search.
According to LASEMA, the diver determined that the t%ddler’s body had svnk deep into the mud and could not be retrieved. Only one shoe belonging to the chlld was recovered.
Following an expert assessment and consultations with the family and community leaders, LASEMA announced the conclusion of the operation, with all emergency responders returning to their base.
The agency’s Permanent Secretary, Dr. Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, expressed condolences to the bereaved families and the Hausa community, while commending the deceased man for r!sking his life in an attempt to save the t%ddler.

Never think you’re better than anyone else.
We all have different goals, struggles, strengths, and weaknesses. Just because you can do something they can’t doesn’t make you superior, and they can probably do something you can’t too.
Kindness is free, so make it a habit.
Humility will take you farther than arrogance ever will.
Everyone is fighting battles you know nothing about. Stay kind, stay grounded, and remember that your value doesn’t increase by making someone else feel smaller.
What’s one act of kindness someone did for you that you’ll never forget?
