In a statement by his spokesman, Gboyega Akosile, the governor commiserated with families bereaved in the accident and prayed to God to grant the deceased eternal rest.

Governor Sanwo-Olu was accompanied by his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat; Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi; and the Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Prof. Adetokunbo Fabanwo.
