“The victims were trapped while working in a puddle trench to get sand with the intention to help their friend who was about to marry build a house. Part of the sand collapsed and covered them and they died subsequently,“ Abdullahi said in the statement.

He said that the recovered bodies were handed over to the police and the village head of Yanlami.
