A 30-year-old man, Haruna Abdullahi, and 45-year-old Adamu Danjummai died in a pit toilet at Aku Village in Gaya Local Government Area of Kano State while making efforts to recover a cell phone from a pit toilet.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of Kano State Fire Service, Alhaji Saminu Abdullahi, in Kano.

Abdullahi said the incident occurred on Sunday morning.

“We received an emergency call from Gaya fire station at about 07:15 a.m. from one Ali Ahmed, that two men had been trapped inside a pit toilet.

"The men were trying to bring out a cellphone that fell inside the pit toilet.

"We immediately sent our rescue team to the scene at about 07:25 a.m,’’ he said.

He said the victims were, however, brought out of the pit latrine unconscious and later confirmed dead while their corpses were handed over to the village head of Aku, Adamu Isyaku.

The Public Relations Officer said that Abdullahi entered the toilet with the intention to pick up his cellphone when he fell inside and got trapped, his brother Danjummai went inside to rescue him and he too got trapped.

He said the cause of the incident was the use of a cellphone in a toilet.

Practical interpretation of the expression "shit happens"

RIP to them

Somethings should be let go when it looks like it can't be retrieved. Rip to them

Phone of how much sent two brothers to death

I can't stop wondering why some people in this nation don't think straight.

It's unfortunate

It is a pity. RIP to them.

But let the truth be told. Ignorance is a deadly disease. This event shows how unreasonable and dirty most people in that region are. Imagine two men of their ages entering a toilet pit because of a phone. None of them was reasonable enough to advice the other. Had it been they survived it, they would not even use soap to thoroughly wash their hands. This is why they use gutter water to wash sugarcane, carrot, cabbage and tiger-nuts. This is why I avoid buying edibles from them. They were desperate to recover the phone because of the cost of the phone. But they claim only Igbo people love money. No Igbo man of their age or even below their age will take such a risk for even an iPhone13.

Nothing Musa nor go see for gate

Chai

Shit just got real. Maybe their working tools and clients wey wan pay dey inside the phone.

May their souls rest in peace. Because of phone we lost two men.
