A 37-year-old man, identified as Muzambilu Sunusi, has lost his life on Wednesday morning after a bridge collapsed on him at Bichi town in Bichi Local Government Area of Kano State.
The Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Fire Service, Mr Saminu Abdullahi, confirmed the incident to newsmen in a statement on Thursday,
“We received a distress call from the Divisional Crime Officer (DCO), Bichi Police Station, at about 8:30a.m that a bridge had collapsed on a man”.
“On receiving the information, we quickly sent our rescue team and a vehicle to the scene at 8:35 a.m,’’ he said.
Abdullahi said that Sunusi was, however, brought out under the bridge and was conveyed to the Bichi general hospital for medical verification, where the doctor on duty later confirmed him dead.
He said that the cause of his death was due to a rod he removed under the bridge, which felt on him.
The spokesman added that the corpse had been handed over to the police in Bichi for further action.
