Residents of Tsalle, a community in the Gezawa Local Government Area of Kano State have been thrown in disarray after the discovery of a lifeless body of a day-old child in a well.
It was gathered that the body was recovered on Thursday, June 10. Confirming the incident in a statement, Alhaji Saminu Abdullahi, spokesman for the Kano State Fire Service told reporters that the service received a distress call at about 12:25 p.m. on Thursday from one Abubakar Ahmed-Dandago.
“On receiving the information, we quickly sent our rescue team to the scene at about 12:43 p.m,” he said.
