Two male factory workers have died after falling inside a
diesel reservoir in the Ikosi area of Lagos state.
A statement by Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, permanent secretary
of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), said preliminary
investigations revealed that “one of the men (an adult) accidentally fell into
the diesel reservoir while working”.
He said the second worker, in an attempt to rescue this
colleague, also fell into the reservoir.
Oke-Osanyintolu said both victims were rescued by officials
of LASEMA and fire service who arrived at the scene.
“Both victims sustained severe conditions and were promptly
transported” to the hospital by the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS)
after receiving first aid, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),” the
statement reads.
Oke-Osanyintolu added that the victims later died at the
medical facility despite all efforts to revive them.
