The report signed by Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, DG/CEO of LASEMA, further stated that: “The incident led to severe injuries to some victims, others were discovered dead.

“This unfortunate incident provoked some bystanders into taking the law into their hands by attempting to lynch NPF, LASTMA officials and other first responders at the scene, destroying vehicles and other properties.

“The number of fatalities and casualties could not be ascertained at the time of reporting.

“The attack by the miscreants led the emergency team to head back to base as the scene was insecure and unsafe for rescue and recovery operations.”
