A 12-year-old boy was miraculously rescued after spending three days trapped in a tiny gap between a house and a wall.
Aduragbemi Saka had been visiting a cafe alone when he started playing in 12-inches wide gap between the breeze block wall and a student house.
But he became stuck and with no relatives nearby he spent three days crying to himself with passersby ignoring the sounds.
Eventually neighbours heard the boy singing to himself and they looked inside the gap to see him curled up in a ball.
Police smashed through the wall and pulled him out covered in dust- but still alive in the Oduduwa Area of Ondo state, Nigeria.
Resident Felicia Olaniyi said- the boy, who had run away from his grandmother, was not immediately rescued - despite shouting for help - because the people in the home believed the noise coming from the walls was supernatural.
She said: ''I asked my neighbours if they were aware of the strange voice inside the wall and they were also confused about what was going on there.
''So we got a ladder to trace where the voice was coming from and found the young boy where he was stuck. A policeman had to break the wall to rescue him.''
One of the residents, who identified herself only as Becky said: “We were already looking for another accommodation, because it was strange for human voice to be coming out of a fence wall for three days; non-stop, throughout the day and at night.” she told Nigerian paper Punch.
She added: "We never knew anyone was there. So, when the noise refused to stop and was unbearable, I told my friends to start looking for accommodation for me because it was becoming scary that we would be hearing a strange voice from in-between walls.
Another neighbour Charity Adebayo said: ''We heard a voice speaking that 'I am Judas Iscariot. The following day we asked for a ladder and found him. We discovered the poor boy.''
The youngster has since been reunited with his grandmother.
