Make hoax call to 767, 112 emergency numbers, go to jail

Tough time, henceforth, awaits those who make false calls to its 767 and 112 telephone numbers set aside for emergency situations.
Governor Babatunde Fashola, recently assented to a law establishing the Lagos State emergency command and control centre, that regulate the making of telephone calls to the centre and provide for other connected matters.

Following Fashola’s assent, the law, which was earlier passed by the state House of Assembly, makes it illegal for anyone to call the emergency numbers for fun and irrelevant issues as offenders would be liable to fine or jail term.
