In a border village between the states of Adamawa and Taraba, a collapsed mining pit buried about thirty people alive.

According to a Friday update on the mining site disaster, the men were pushed far down into the pit and were never seen again.

When the news emerged on Thursday, November 7, it was reported that 22 people had died in the catastrophe, which happened at an illegal mining site that stretched across Gashaka LGA in Taraba State and Toungo LGA in Adamawa State.

Umar Adamu, the Toungo Local Government’s Information Officer, provided an update on the tragedy, stating that at least thirty persons were buried alive.

Adamu added that none of the deceased could be taken outside for a dignified burial.

According to him, Muslims in the neighbourhood gathered at the location of the collapsed mine and offered Muslim prayers since they assumed that all of the dead were Muslims.
