While borehole drillers were drilling a borehole, a reddish liquid, that looks like blood, was found flowing out of the ground

A driller claimed it is blood!

What could be the cause engineers, geologists, geographers, soil scientists, miners in the house?

Na Wao

That must be in the North.

It must be a chemical component beneath the earth crust.... what's the depth of the drill.

Was d smell d same

Did it attract flies?

LET MY PIPU GO

Samples should be harvested and taken to the lab for proper testing. Sometimes, you cannot just come to conclusion by merely looking at it.

Congrats you have crude

Either drilling fluid or the layer of soil they are drilling is rich in iron and thereby infested with iron bacteria.

Just an educated guess.

I think iron deposit

The ground is crying blood in protest of the many killings and injustices in the land.

this can happen in south only.

dem don drill another person papa or mama

You understand the assignment.

If the place is an industrial area, chemicals and industrial wastes must have leached into the soil.

If it is not, then that's likely a case of severe iron bacteria infestation.

If you check, the water will have an odd smell like rotten egg (sulphuric), and would have this petroleum or condemned-oil feel to it.

But it's good you take a sample to a lab. A functional one.
Only them can determine what truly is wrong.

na person burial ground them go drill the person blood..

Hope the drillers ain't taking this for jokes cus it's a very serious matter here!!....

this happened where?

I dont believe most things I see on Tiktok

Check well... It may be ultisols soil mixed with water found underneath...

I once found an oil foils, crude oil like on our property well those days ...it came out for weeks and stopped

Now it's clean water

Isn't this a violation of rule 2?

Why would you ban the moniker to who this was directed for 5 Months while this instigator/provocateur is left to keep trolling and insulting other users at will.

No be una fault sha...

However una want this forum to go na so we go help una run am.

The only way to know for sure is to undertake lab analysis of some samples taken from the well and its immediate environment.

As many have said, Iron is most likely an element in the mix.

From the sounds of the drilling and the video, it is evident the well is quite shallow and in a loose sedimentary area other wise they were still in the weathering.

The drillers spoke yoruba which might mean but not conclusively say it was in the SW part of the country.

Not so
