In what could be best described as a show of concern, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday alighted from his vehicle to assist in the rescue of an accident victim.
Akinwunmi Ambode, governor of Lagos State on Monday helped out in the rescue of an accident victim, Anukam Angela driving alone in a Toyota Corolla car with registration number EKY 415 CG.
The accident occurred at about 8:15am along Osborne Road, Ikoyi where the victim lost control and ram into the median of the road before the vehicle somersaulted.
Ambode who was heading to the office through the direction before the incident occurred, was said to have stopped at the scene to offer a helping hand.
He was said to have instructed the ambulance attached to his convoy to convey the victim who was in a state of shock, and could barely move or talk, to be taken to the Lagos Island General Hospital for treatment.
Angela’s sister, Amaka, who was contacted shortly after the incident, said she was treated for minor injuries and discharged free of charge on the order of the governor.
She said the ambulance also conveyed her sister back to her residence at 3, Efosa Ehiedu Close, off Modupe Thomas Estate, Ajah, while the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) towed the vehicle away from the roadside to prevent traffic gridlock.
