An overcrowded mass at an artisanal mining site in Kakaki village, Paikoro local government area, Niger State, has killed two siblings.
LEADERSHIP learned that in order to pay off a debt, the two brothers, Zubairu and Sadiq Ibrahim, visited a gold mining site in the hamlet that had a significant gold resource.
Before the regrettable incident, it was discovered that Zubairu, 25, and Sadiq, 20, had been engaged in long-term artisanal gold mining near the village's bank of a tributary.
Details to follow.
