... Under Ajah Bridge in Eti-Osa, some other operations

Although on Saturday 19 September 2020, LASEMA Response Team evacuated carcases of burnt tanker, 40ft containerized truck loaded with generator sets and the burnt lowbed carrying an excavator from Friday 18 September's 'Tanker on Fire' incident, the Agency also blanketed another fallen oil tanker yesterday morning to prevent another fire, a few meters from the Friday night incident sc sc.

In the midst of all these activities, the 'Operation Storm' Response Team of LASEMA stationed at Eti-Osa, under Ajah Bridge, has taken delivery of a life baby boy as part of the Agency's proactive steps to mitigate against harzards that may trail gridlock after closure of Third Mainland Bridge.

Cross Rivers State's 35-year-old indigenous woman, Ms. Blessing Emmanuel, a semi-disadvantaged, homeless, with no family in Lagos, and fond of wandering under the Ajah Bridge, fell in labour, and LASEMA 's Operation Storm Response Team was the only medical choice available.

The involvement of LASEMA's 'Operation Storm' Response Team under the Ajah bridge in Eti-osa was timely and made delivery of Ms. Blessing of a lifetime and healthy baby boy safe and quick.

After successfully completing the mission of delivering Ms. Blessing of Life, male neonates under the Bridge in record time, mother and child were taken to the Island Maternity Hospital in stable condition for continuing, expert medical treatment, in line with their duty to save lives.
