Three Feared Dead, One Injured As Another Mining Site Collapses In Niger by InfoGuru118: 10:02pm On Jun 13
Tragedy struck at Bazakwoi of Adunu Community, Paikoro Local Government Area of Niger State as another mining pit collapsed at an illegal gold mining site, resulting in the deaths of no fewer than three persons while one other victim was rescued with injuries at the scene.

Indication to this effect emerged on Thursday evening when the Director General, Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA), Malam Abdullahi Baba Arah, in a press statement he signed and made available to Journalists in Minna, disclosed that the agency has received a report of mining pit collapse at Bazakwoi of Adnun community in Paikoro LGA of Niger State.

According to the NSEMA boss, “The incident occurred earlier today (Thursday) 13th June 2024. It involves local miners who are said to be illegally mining the gold deposit environment and scavenging for the mineral, thereby resulting in the deaths of no fewer than about three persons at the scene.”

The statement added that as of the time of filing the report, three persons were confirmed dead while one person was rescued alive with injuries.

Baba Arah, however, noted that “No one was trapped, and as such, there was no search and rescue operation”, the statement added.

Recall that News360 Nigeria earlier reports that a mining site collapsed in Galkogo village, Shiroro local government area of Niger State, with many people trapped underground.

Personally, I think it's about time govt fixed this matter.
Licenses must be approved before mining can occur, and miners must be professionals and must adhere to safety rules.

Rest in peace to the dead. At least they have escaped the hardship in the country.

They are busy mining Nigeria's mineral resources and pocketing it but all attention is on the Niger Delta and Eastern Nigeria. Injustice begat injustice. Karma is a bitch - its does not forgives or forgets.

Northerners are minning their solid minerals.
But if Niger Deltans mine their own oil, they'll call the Oil thieves.

Nobody dare to go arrest them there for stealing government minerals resources, but if it was Niger Delta you'll see all the so called and biased security agencies making noise everywhere.

The Oil in the Southeast and Southsouth belongs to the Federal Government while the solid minerals up North belongs to Northerners.

This injustice will continue to plague Nigeria and hamper her Development.
