Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Saturday, August 29, 2020, visited the scene of the helicopter crash that occurred on Friday, August 28, 2020 at Opebi, Ikeja, Lagos.
The governor, who met with the residence of both buildings where the crash occurred, rejoiced with them for not recording any casualty.
