Sanwo-Olu sympathises with victims of stampede, calls for strict crowd control
The Lagos State Government has observed with serious concern the stampede during philanthropic gestures of individuals and organisations in some parts of the country.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu “sympathises with families whose loved ones were involved in the stampede that led to the loss of lives in some States.”
To prevent such occurrences in Lagos State, all individuals or groups that intend to distribute items to large gatherings of people are advised to seek clearance from the Lagos State Safety Commission, which is well-equipped to ensure that such events do not turn tragic.
The agency, according to a statement signed on Friday by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, has a partnership with security agencies to ensure crowd control at locations with large numbers of people.
