Lagos First Lady Visits Hospitals, Commiserates With Victims Of Train-BRT Accident

Lagos State First Lady, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu has visited the hospitals attending to the treatment of those who sustained injuries as a result of the Train-Bus accident, this morning.

She was accompanied by the wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat and other senior government officials.

She wrote: “Our thoughts and prayers to the victims of the Lagos Bus-Train accident, this morning.

“I was at the General Hospital, Gbagada; Lagos State Accident and Emergency Centre, Toll Gate; Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja; and the General Hospital, Orile Agege, to assess ongoing efforts to save lives.

“Even as the State Government has declared three days of mourning, we deeply commiserate with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives, while also wishing the injured speedy recovery.”

Earlier the Lagos State government has stated that the falsehood peddled on social media that victims of the train accident at Ikeja were left unattended to is wicked and mischievous.

“Victims were  speedily evacuated to LASUTH. They were attended to outside the emergency Centre to classify their injuries. Normal medical procedure in an emergency.

“Survivors have since undergone various stages of treatment and admitted into wards.

“LASUTH has displayed excellence and commitment to ensure all patients are stable and discharged promptly.

“It is inhuman for anyone to go on social media to peddle rumours when families grieve over the loss of their loved ones.”
