According to the Permanent Secretary, LASEMA, Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, in the early hours of Saturday, he said that the agency activated the state’s emergency response plan and its response team from Oshodi, following distress calls received on its 767/112 Emergency Toll-Free Lines at 18.29hrs on Friday.
