The Lagos State Special Offences (Mobile) Court has warned recalcitrant motorists who has made it a duty to violate the traffic laws of the state to desist or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.
The Coordinator, Special Offences (Mobile) Court, Mrs Arinola Ogbara, gave the warning during a road show to create public awareness and sensitise residents to the importance of obeying the state’s traffic laws.

“All motorists, including private car owners, are hereby warned to henceforth desist from all forms of traffic obstructions, driving against traffic, and plying BRT corridors.
“It is disheartening to observe that recalcitrant commercial bus drivers and private car owners are in the habit of disobeying all road signs and signals in contravention of the traffic law, thereby causing an impediment to free vehicular traffic across the state,” Ogbara said.
Ogbara said the Lagos State Special Offences (Mobile) Court was created by the state government to prosecute minor offences, especially those committed by traffic offenders.
She stated that the mobile court had deemed it necessary to sensitise members to the public on the state’s zero tolerance for violation of traffic laws.
