A middle-aged man, identified as Agbese Agbeko, fell to his death while he was working at Olusesi Street, Ile-Iwe bus-stop, in Ikotun area of Lagos State.

The deceased who is a plumber was trying to fix a pipe outside a well when he suddenly slipped into the well.

Despite his screams for help, he died before residents could come to his resue.

According to the Guardian, the residents claimed the well wasn’t so deep for him to have drowned quickly but must have sustained severe injuries from the fall, which hastened his death.
