Five people have died after an illegal gold mine collapsed in southern Niger, a mayor said Tuesday.
The accident occurred Monday in the Maradi region near the border with Nigeria, Dan-Issa Mayor Adamou Gueraou told AFP.
It happened in "one of the mines where all clandestine mining was banned in November after a fatal accident," he said.
