Task force impounds 70 vehicles for various traffic offences in Lagos
Officials of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit have impounded 70 vehicles over traffic violations.
The Director, Public Affairs, Lagos State Task Force, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
Mr Abdulraheem said, “The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Taskforce), today confiscated 70 vehicles for flagrant violation of the Lagos State traffic law as amended. The vehicles were impounded in coordinated operations carried out at target locations where reckless traffic violations by commercial transporters cause avoidable traffic congestion and general public nuisance. The exercise and enforcement were carried out at Okuta road junction in Bariga, Oba Akran road by Kodesoh under the bridge, Ikeja and Ladipo by Five Star, along Oshodi-Apapa expressway.’’
Mr Abdulraheem said the Chairman of the taskforce, Adetayo Akerele, warned reckless motorists that the agency under his leadership wouldn’t spare environmental and traffic laws violators in the state.
He said, “CSP Akerele further said that the agency will not tolerate or surrender to any indiscipline perpetuated by any lawless motorist as traffic logjam is not natural, not created by God, but a product of recklessness on the road.”
According to him, environmental sanity, safety and security in the state will improve and be preserved, if residents cooperate and obey relevant laws.
