A 68-year-old man, Ahmed Olaniyan, fell into a well while attempting to recover his mobile phone in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The incident occurred at Mobolorunduro Mosque in the Molefalafia area of Oke-Ado, Ibadan.
Confirming the incident yesterday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Fire Services Agency Reform and Chairman, Moroof Adebayo Akinwande, explained that it happened when the man tried to retrieve his phone from the well without adequate knowledge of the risks.
