The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode, on Monday surprised his security
men and protocol officials when he
suddenly ordered his vehicle to stop on
Osborne Road, Ikoyi, while on his way to the
office.












It was gathered that the governor had just
witnessed an accident on the road and
stopped his vehicle in order to assist in the
rescue of the victim.














Our correspondent learnt that the victim,
Miss Angela Anukam, who was driving alone
in a wine-coloured Toyota Corolla with
registration number, EKY 415 CG, at about
8.15am, lost control and rammed into the
median of the road before the vehicle
somersaulted.












An aide of the governor said Ambode was
worried about what could happen to the
victim, which was why he stopped his
vehicle.














He said, “Worried by what could befall the
occupant of the car, Governor Ambode, who
was heading to the office through the
direction, ordered his convoy to stop at the
scene to enable him assess the situation, as
well as help rescue the passenger.














“The governor immediately instructed the
ambulance attached to his convoy to take
Angela, who was in a state of shock, and
could barely move or talk to the Lagos Island
General Hospital for treatment.”













It was gathered that Angela’s sister, Amaka,
was contacted shortly after the incident by
some aides of the governor.













In the end, she reportedly sent a feedback
indicating that Angela was treated for minor
injuries and discharged free of charge on
the order of the governor.














One of the aides, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said, “She said the ambulance
also conveyed her sister back to her
residence on Efosa Ehiedu Close, off Modupe
Thomas Estate, Ajah, while officials of the
Lagos State Traffic Management Authority
assisted in towing the vehicle away from the
road to prevent gridlock.”













Speaking on the incident, the Chief Press
Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Habib Aruna,
said, “What the governor has done is typical
of him. It is indeed a demonstration of his
concern for the wellbeing of every resident
and Miss Angela is not an exception.














“He has also with this act, shown his
commitment to an all inclusive approach in
protecting the lives and property of citizens
in the state.”
