He revealed that the agency quickly activated the state’s emergency response protocol after receiving distress calls through the 767/112 Emergency Toll-Free Lines at 6:29 p.m. on Friday.

Upon arriving at 6:50 p.m., LASEMA’s Eagle Response Team discovered that part of a building housing the medical centre was engulfed in flames. Initial investigations showed that the fire was caused by a power surge, which sparked when electricity was restored. Thankfully, no casualties or injuries were reported.

Oke-Osanyintolu added that emergency responders, including LASEMA’s Fire Unit and other agencies, worked diligently to control the blaze and prevent it from spreading to nearby properties. Despite ongoing efforts, the fire continues to rage, with response and recovery operations still underway.

The agencies involved in the emergency response included LASEMA’s Response Team, LASEMA Fire Unit, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Lagos Neighbourhood and Security Corps, and the Nigeria Police Force.
