A miner identified as Ibrahim Jabir, 35, reportedly died after a mining pit collapsed at Asaradan village in Jos East Local Government Area of Plateau State on Sunday, November 1.
PUNCH reported the death, citing unnamed security sources who said community members had recovered his body before troops arrived.
Daily Post carried a similar account attributed to security sources cited by security analyst Zagazola Makama.
The reports said troops operating under Operation Enduring Peace responded to a distress call and that police in Angware had been contacted.
The reports differ on the time of the collapse. IDNN has not independently confirmed its circumstances, identified the site operator or reviewed an official investigation report.
