A bridge has collapsed killing a 37-year-old man, Muzambilu Sunusi, in Bichi, Bichi local government area of Kano State.
The spokesperson of the State Fire Service, Saminu Abdullahi said the incident happened Wednesday morning.
“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,” the statement said.
“On receiving the information, we quickly sent our rescue team and a vehicle to the scene at 8:35 a.m.’’
Abdullahi said 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 fell on him.
He said the corpse had been handed over to the police in Bichi for further action.
