Following a distress report received by the Ministry of Youth and Social Development, its Rescue Team promptly swung into action to assist a mentally unstable woman in distress.
According to information gathered, the woman, who was described as well-dressed, had taken an Uber ride from Lekki to the Panti Police Station, where she reportedly attempted to file a complaint against the sun. She was subsequently rescued and taken to one of the Lagos State–owned rehabilitation centres, where she is currently receiving the necessary medical and psychological care to aid her recovery.
The Honourable Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mr. Mobolaji Abubakre Ogunlende, commended the Rescue Team for their swift and professional response to the report, which reached the Ministry via Instagram.
Similarly, the Permanent Secretary, Pharm. (Mrs.) Toyin Oke-Osanyintolu, urged members of the public to promptly report any life-threatening situation or incident that could endanger individuals.
Reiterating the Ministry’s “See Something, Say Something” policy, she further encouraged residents to draw the government’s attention to such cases by calling 0913 205 5075.
