Kano State Fire Service rescues man and cow from well

The Kano State Fire Service successfully rescued a 40-year-old man, Badamasi Ibrahim, and his five-year-old cow after both became trapped in an old well in Sabon Ruwa, located in the Makoda Local Government Area.

The incident occurred on a Wednesday afternoon following a distress call reported to the Danbatta Fire Station.
