LASEMA

Four days  after, the Director-General, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu says yet another body has been recovered from the rubble of the explosion that rocked the Abule Ado axis of Lagos State in the early hours of Sunday morning.

This brings the death toll from the scene to 21.

Confirming the recovery on Thursday, Osanyintolu  said that 100 persons have been moved to the Igando relief camp in Ikotun for adequate welfare.

“The teams continue to carry out recovery and salvage operations at the incident site. An additional body was retrieved today bringing the total number of fatalities to 21″.

Worried by the apprehension from relatives of victims and sympathizers, Oke-Osanyintolu appealed for calm, saying, “We appeal for calm and urge members of the public to keep away from the scene, as they continue to provide updates”.
