Most people don't know this about Lagos... but it could save a life.
I came across a post asking:
If someone is dumped from a moving vehicle with gunshot wounds in Lagos, what should you do?
One response stood out because it wasn't based on assumptions, it shared practical information.
✅ The first thing to do is move to a safe distance and immediately call 767 or 112.
Don't waste precious time trying to figure out which police station to call.
Lagos State has a coordinated emergency response system that brings together the necessary agencies, including the police, ambulance, and other emergency responders.
Many people think these numbers don't work. But they do.
Someone shared a real experience. 👇👇
Around midnight, their 7-month-old daughter suddenly developed a high fever of 38.5°C during heavy rain. They had no car, so they called 112. An ambulance was dispatched and came to pick them up.
The surprising part?
This didn't happen in Lagos Island or Victoria Island.
It actually happened in Badagry Local Government Area.
We often criticize our emergency systems, but it's also important to know the services that are available and actually use them when needed.
📌 Save these numbers today:
112 – Lagos Emergency Response
767 – Lagos Emergency Response
You may never need them, but someone around you might.
Sharing this information could one day help save a life.
Please share this post so more people know what to do in an emergency.
Abuja, Port Harcourt, etc are there emergency numbers like this?
