A 40-year-old man stabbed himself and then jumped into a well on Tuesday at Rijiyar Zaki Quarters of Ungogo Local Government Area, Kano, officials reported.
Director of Kano State Fire Service, Mustafa Rilwan, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the man, Balarabe Adamu, was rescued from the well before he later died at Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital, Kano.
He said a neighbour raised the alarm and informed the state fire service that Adamu had jumped into the well after stabbing himself.
