Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) on Saturday revealed that two male adults who fell into a diesel reservoir along Ikosi-Oregun Road in Lagos have died.

LASEMA, in a statement, said following distress calls received via the CRM on the 767/112 Emergency Toll-Free Lines at 1037hrs, it activated the state’s Emergency Response Plans and its response team from the Command and Control Centre, Alausa, Ikeja.

It added that upon arrival of LASEMA’s Tiger Response Team at the scene by 1047hrs, it was discovered that two adult males had fallen into a diesel reservoir at the location.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that one of the men (an adult) accidentally fell into the diesel reservoir while working. The second adult male, in an attempt to rescue the first, also fell into the reservoir.

“Both victims sustained severe conditions and were promptly transported to the hospital by the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS) after receiving first aid, including CPR.”
