LASG To Indict 60 Traffic Violators At Mobile Court
The operatives of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit (Taskforce) have surmised an arrangement to indicted 60 arrested vehicle owners/drivers for driving against traffic (one-way), on BRT lane and resulting in road obstacles over the weekend in Lagos.
Chairman of the Agency, SP Jejeloye Shola, who led the enforcement team during the exercise, revealed that the 60 traffic offenders were apprehended at different parts of the state for the various traffic offenses in contravention of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018.
Eko Hot Blog gathered that the Chairman stated further that it was disconcerting seeing both educated private car owners and commercial bus drivers driving against traffic or causing road impediments to other road users across the State.
In his words, “Honestly, it is painful that with the high level of enlightenment campaigns and serious warnings by the government, motorists including private car owners could still be driving against traffic with total disregard, without fear of crushing innocent passersby or causing a collision with oncoming vehicles.

“The Agency will keep enhancing the enforcement of the Law which has been checking the quantities of motorists who drive with impunity on our roads”.
The Chairman applauded Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the donation of other operational vehicles for the exercise tagged ‘Anti One-Way’, to further boost traffic enforcement operations by the Agency.
SP Jejeloye substantiated that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police CP Hakeem Odumosu has directed that the enforcement operations on motorists driving against traffic, on BRT corridors, and road obstructions be heightened in every part of the State.
The Chairman, nevertheless, urged motorists to desist from driving against traffic and obey the various traffic signs enormously displayed on all roads across the city by the Government.
