The Spokesman of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LSHA), Hon. Ogundipe Stephen Olukayode, who represents Oshodi-Isolo Constituency-01 and also serves as the Chairman, House Committee on Information Strategy and Security, has issued a strong caution to members of the public against the dangerous practice of scooping fuel whenever spillages occur.
