- At least 37 miners died from carbon monoxide poisoning at a mining site in the Kampani community, Wase area, Plateau State, central Nigeria.
- The incident occurred at a dormant lead mine where accumulated minerals and chemical residues in underground tunnels released lethal gases.
- Preliminary reports indicate a sudden release of toxic gases, including carbon monoxide, lead oxide, and sulphur compounds, in the poorly ventilated tunnels.
- These gases are colourless, odourless, and highly poisonous, causing miners to lose consciousness and die upon inhalation.
