The agency’s Permanent Secretary, Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, said this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the weekend.

Mr Oke-Osanyintolu said the agency received a call through the Lagos State Toll Free Emergency numbers 767 and 112 at 7.43 a.m. that a man had reportedly fallen into the Lagos lagoon at Falomo Bridge.

“Following the distress call, LASEMA activated the state’s Emergency Response Plans with the swift arrival of LASEMA Response Team from Lekki zone at the incident scene at 8.02 a.m.

Mr Oke-Osanyintolu said that the information gathered from officials of the Lagos State Water Authority (LASWA) at their Falomo office, revealed that Mr Amoo was seen struggling for survival inside the lagoon.

The LASWA officials said: “Our staff had, around 11.00 p.m. yesterday (Thursday) night, observed Amoo struggling for survival in the lagoon waters after he fell off the bridge, thereby leading to the LASWA Rescue Team’s response.

“Amoo was rescued by the LASWA officials and subsequently stabilised by the agency’s Pre-Hospital Care Paramedics.

“He provided vital information about himself after resuscitation, stating that his home address is at Ilaje-Bariga, Lagos.
