The Kano State Fire Service wishes to inform the general public that on Wednesday, 26 August 2026, at about 3:22 pm., the Emergency Response Unit of the Danbatta fire station in Local Government Area received a distress call concerning an incident at Sabon Ruwa Village in Makoda Local Government Area.
The distress call was made by Ibrahim Jibrin, who came to the Danbatta Fire Station to report the incident.
Our men immediately rushed to the scene, where they discovered that a five-year-old cow had fallen into an old well.
The owner of the cow, Badamasi Ibrahim, about 40 years old, attempted to enter the well to rescue the cow. However, he also became trapped inside the well and was unable to get out.
Our personnel successfully rescued both the cow and Badamasi Ibrahim alive, despite the man’s difficulty in breathing while trapped inside the well.
The Director of the agency, Alhaji Sani Anas, has appealed to members of the public to refrain from entering or diving into wells under any circumstances, as doing so could result in serious injury or loss of life. He urged the public to immediately contact the fire service through this Number 08107888878, 08000089999 or other appropriate emergency responders whenever such incidents occur.
