The Search and Rescue team of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) are in search of a man trapped in an underground drainage at Onipanu Bus stop in Lagos.
Its Permanent Secretary, Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, in a statement said following an SOS message on distress situation of a drainage worker, LASEMA activated the State’s Emergency Response Plans from its Onipanu Base, and investigations revealed that an adult male de-silting drainages along that axis in attempts to clear a blocked portion, accessed the underground tunnel and got trapped.
He said that further investigation at the incident scene revealed that the man was a Drain Ducks worker employed by LAMATA, who was trying to dislodge and evacuate debris from the underground drainage, but unfortunately got trapped in between the tunnel.
