Dozens Remain Trapped after Gold mine Collapses in Northcentral Nigeria

Posted on June 7, 2024June 7, 2024 By Naomy Mbaka No Comments on Dozens Remain Trapped after Gold mine Collapses in Northcentral Nigeria

Dozens of workers have been trapped after a gold mine collapsed in northcentral Nigeria, authorities and residents said.

Rescuers on Thursday began search operations to account for the missing workers.

The pit collapsed on Monday in Niger state’s remote Shiroro district after heavy rains softened the soil.

State emergency services announced that one person was confirmed dead and at least 30 others were missing.

Residents, however, said as many as 44 remained trapped.

Much of northern Nigeria is rich in minerals, but corruption, illegal operations and poor working conditions are common in mining operations because the deposits are mostly in remote areas with a minimal government presence.

First responders “had to run for their lives as the mine kept falling inside,” Abdullahi Arah, head of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency, said in a preliminary report.

Rescue operations soon resumed, but expanding the deep pit to locate the trapped workers has been challenging, emergency services spokesperson Ibrahim Hussaini said.

“When you have something almost as tall as a three-story building down into the ground, how will an excavator get to that place?” he said.

On Thursday, distraught families watched as rescuers worked to remove the remaining debris.
