There was panic and later deep thanksgiving in a Nigerian home after a huge hole suddenly opened up in the middle of a family’s compound, revealing an old hidden well right under their tiled floor.
Photos obtained by PRUDENTJ2 show the dangerously wide opening, with broken tiles giving way to a deep, brick-lined pit. According to the homeowner, the well had been completely unknown to the family until the ground suddenly caved in.
But what made the situation more emotional was his testimony.
“I thank God from the bottom of my heart,” he said.
“The hidden well in my yard just collapsed. Luckily, the children were not there — they had all gone out. And just ten minutes earlier, that’s exactly where they were playing… Imagine the scene! I’m deeply grateful to the Lord for protecting them.”
From the pictures, household items can be seen scattered near the site, and one image shows a man, likely the father, standing in shock next to the gaping hole.
Neighbours quickly gathered to witness the strange and scary discovery, many offering help and thanking God with the family. The incident is already sparking online conversations about the need for proper land checks and structural investigations before tiling or building.
Some are calling it “a miracle and a warning at the same time.”
No injuries were reported, but the family says the site will be fenced off immediately and professionally sealed.
This is not the first time stories like this have been reported, especially in older compounds where underground structures were never properly recorded.
We thank God for sparing lives.
