A four-year-old boy, Praise Dada, fell inside a well on Tuesday following a shout by his mum who found him playing near the well.
The incident occurred at 49, Fakoya Street, Akowonjo area of Egbeda, Lagos around 5pm.
Dada, a Nursery II pupil of Mintlaw International School, followed his mother to greet a friend while returning from school. Mrs Dada decided to visit her friend who just opened a shop near the school.
Dada was seen jumping on the well with a fragile lid. As his mother screamed on the looming danger, the boy, out of shock and panic, was said to have fell inside the well.
