A Lagos resident, Muhammad Armayau, has commended the state’s emergency responders for their swift intervention that saved his seven-month-old daughter who fell critically ill during a heavy downpour.

Armayau, a resident of Badagry area of the state, told journalists on Monday that his daughter developed a high fever in the middle of the night, leaving the family stranded as there was no vehicle available to take her to the hospital.

He said the family got relief after calling the Lagos State emergency toll-free line, 112.

According to him, the child had battled elevated temperature for two days before the situation worsened.
