Mr Oke-Osanyintolu said, ““The remains of the victims were carefully recovered, bagged with dignity, and handed over to officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps.”
LASEMA said the incident occurred after the tanker reportedly hit a road bump at high speed, causing the driver to lose control.
Mr Bakare-Oki further advised residents to postpone non-essential trips during periods of heavy rainfall and flash floods to ensure their safety.
The state government noted that taking such responsibility would also enhance security and sustain property value.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency says two separate fire incidents caused by electrical surges occurred in parts of Lagos on Sunday.
Mr Taofiq said operatives rescued eight passengers from the wreckage and took them to a nearby medical facility for treatment.
The Lagos government has warned all operators of articulated vehicles, tankers, and trucks to comply with traffic laws and speed limits.
A Lexus RX300 SUV, with registration number GGE 750BM, lost control while speeding and rammed into five little children.
LASEMA said emergency teams were working under challenging conditions because of the building’s height.
“Several others escaped unhurt, while efforts are currently ongoing to resuscitate the remaining four individuals,” he said.
