Emergency! Lagos ambulance yet to turn up 10 hours after call for help
A Lagos resident was forced to book a private ambulance, Thursday, after the government run ambulance she called for never showed up.
Narrating her ordeal on Twitter, the woman said she called for the ambulance at 8:25a.m. on Thursday but it had not shown up as at 3:46p.m.
She was then forced to book for an ambulance at a private hospital for N50,000.
When I didn't hear from them an hour after I called back & the person I spoke to said "they've been informed" @Gidi_Traffic (2/5)
