EHIME ALEX, Lagos
A patrol team of the Federal Road Safety Corps has displayed a great deal of compassion and bravery in service to humanity by rescuing a pregnant woman from pains and agony of labour on the road.
The agency which has remained committed to its statutory responsibility of saving lives through prompt rescue services on the roads, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday by Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Public Education Officer.
The rescued pregnant woman on wheels
Kazeem noted that “the humanitarian gesture occurred on Saturday in Lagos, when a patrol team belonging to RS 2.110 Airport Unit Command of the Corps at about 2:34 PM sighted the pregnant woman struggling to drive amidst painful labour and rushed her to a nearby hospital in Ajao Estate where she was delivered of a baby girl barely 3 hours later”.
According to him, the Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi while expressing deep appreciation for the prompt intervention and rescue services, applauded the patrol team for such act of compassion and sacrifice which he described as a positive representation of the true mission of the Corps.
Oyeyemi noted that “this is one among many of such interventions that the Operatives of the Corps carry out from time to time as they go on patrol”.
As such, the Corps Marshal called on members of the public to always endeavour to notify the Federal Road Safety Corps any time they come across people in such distress situations and other emergencies for immediate action.
He also urged the public to report such to FRSC Call Centre through the toll free line: 122 or to the studio of the National Traffic Radio through the telephone lines:08052998090 and 09067000015.
