The Commissioner of Police (CP) in Lagos State, Adegoke Fayoade, has vowed to prosecute commercial bus and tricycle operators caught violating traffic laws.

Mr Fayoade said this on Friday while declaring open a one-day train-the -trainers’ workshop for Area Traffic Officers.

The training was organised by the Global Transport Policy Training Academy (GTP), in collaboration with the Police Command in Lagos.

The theme of the training was: “Improving Traffic Policing: Leveraging on Emotional Intelligence Skills”.

Mr Fayoade, represented by the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Area F Ikeja, Paul Okafor, expressed concern about the lawlessness of commercial bus and tricycle operators on Lagos roads.

The CP advised road users to always obey and respect traffic officers, saying they were working for the good interest of all in Lagos State.

He commended the training programme’s organisers, pointing out that the theme was appropriate and showed their good thoughts towards people in Lagos State.

Mr Fayoade said the training will go a long way in assisting the police in traffic management.
