LASTMA Official Slumps On Traffic Duty (Photo)

An official of the Lagos State Traffic
Management Authority on Saturday
slumped while controlling traffic in
the Idi Araba area of Lagos.
The official, whose identity could
not be ascertained as of the time our
reporter left the scene, was among
those controlling a heavy traffic
along Ishaga Road allegedly caused
by an event at the Chapel of the
Healing Cross, Idi-Araba.
There was also a heavy presence of
security personnel on the road.
The official, who was busy with the
heavy traffic situation under the
scorching sun, fell down and began
to gasp for breath.
The incident occurred at about
1:30pm.
His colleagues and bystanders had
rushed to pull him off the road and
made frantic efforts to resuscitate
him. Some of the LASTMA officials
were seen pounding his chest, while
others poured water on him.
But when his colleagues realised
that he was not responding to the
first aid, they took him into their
vehicle and drove off.
