A well cleaner popularly known as Big steps is reported to have died while carrying out his duty in the Kang Barombi neighbourhood, Kumba III Subdivision, South West Region.

According to FM Express 91.5, Big Steps who “… had gone deep inside the well to clean it and make the water potable, was trapped and unable to execute the job he had been earning a living from over the years.”

Efforts by elements of the Army Rescue Unit who were called in and the population to rescue him were too late as he suffocated to death,” They went on.
