Residents of No.176 Azikiwe Road Aba were thrown into grief and
confusion, after two sewage staff were reportedly found dead inside a
soak away pit in Aba, the commercial nerve of Abia State.
It was gathered that the two sewage staff identified as Chimamkpa
and Orji attached to a popular sewage disposal company in the city, had
gone to the building to evacuate solid waste when they met their
untimely death.
Though there are different stories on what led to the death of the
sewage staff, ranging from sewage disposal chemical they might have
inhaled to some superstitious believe of been killed by evil forces,
however a resident of the area who simply gave his name as Ndubuisi said
that the two men came to work in the building and after they might have
finished evacuating the solid waste, one of them came out through the
pit’s manhole.
After the man came out, he decided to assist his colleague to come
out by giving him his hand. However as the sewer inside held his
colleague’s hand to come out, both of them according to Ndubuisi fell
back into the pit and were unable to come out. Before any help could
come their way, both men were stone dead.
“The incident happened so sudden, it was like a magic. When the
one outside fell back into the soak away pit, people thought he would
come out with his colleague.
“But after waiting for a while none of them came out, people
around decided to break the cover of the soak away pit only to find the
two men dead and police were called in immediately" he said.
The Nation reported that all efforts made to reach one Mr. Amaobi
said to be the manager the sewage disposal company where the two men
worked before their death proved abortive, as calls on his mobile phone
was answered by a man who said he was not in charge and could not speak
on the issue.
