Some personnel from the state’s fire service responded to a distress call and removed the corpse of the girl in less than an hour.
Several residents of the area burst into tears when they saw the lifeless body of Ms Aminat who was a secondary school student.
Her body was retrieved in the presence of some policemen who immediately ordered that the corpse should be handed over to her parents.
A weaver and resident in the area, Ajo Habeeb, said the parents of Ms Aminat have been looking for her since three days ago before her dead body was discovered in a well on Wednesday.
The director of the state’s fire service, Falade Olumuyiwa, described the incident as unfortunate.
