About seven (7) of the victims were rescued and immediately taken to Lagos State Emergency Centre Ojota by FRSC personnel while another road user helped in carrying about seven (7) also to the same emergency center.
The general public should disregard the disgruntled information been circulated by some unscrupulous element that FRSC men caused the crash.
We want to place on record that our men were not in any way involved in the cause of the crash as patrol activities were not ongoing along that axis as at the time of the crash.
The Sector Commander of road safety Corps Commander Olusegun Ogungbemide however wishes to commiserate with the families of the deceased, that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss. He also prayed that the injured will recuperate fast.
He, therefore, wishes to state that normalcy has been restored to the axis as security agents are on the ground to ensure the free flow of movements for motorists.
