Several labourers are feared dead after a sand pit used for brick-making collapsed early Wednesday morning in Ridawa village, Ghari Local Government Area of Kano State.
The workers were inside the excavation site digging earth for commercial brick production when the pit suddenly caved in, trapping multiple persons beneath the debris.
Preliminary reports indicate that about 10 individuals may still be trapped underground, while others sustained injuries. Rescue efforts are ongoing.
The lawmaker representing the constituency, Sani Bala, confirmed the incident and called for urgent government intervention and technical support to aid the rescue operation.
