A labourer contracted to clear excess mud from a 60-foot borehole at Santasi Adjamasu in the Ashanti Region has tragically died after falling into the shaft on Wednesday morning.
Eyewitnesses reported that the worker was inside the deep, narrow borehole around 10 a.m. when he began struggling to breathe due to intense heat and poor ventilation. He reportedly attempted to climb out but lost his strength, slipped, and fell to the bottom of the borehole, sustaining a fatal head injury.
Residents quickly alerted authorities, triggering a rescue operation that involved both community members and emergency responders. Teams worked for nearly nine hours, battling the depth and muddy conditions, before retrieving the victim at approximately 7 p.m. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead upon extraction.
The police have visited the scene, and the body has been taken to the morgue as investigations into the incident begin.
