It was further confirmed that some of the impounded tankers were apprehended inside Mile 2 estates after investigations revealed that some of them now parked indiscriminately there, thereby causing serious traffic for motorists coming out from the estates.
According to Peter Gbejemede, LASTMA Director of Operations, the enforcement was in accordance with the law and would be continuous until zero tolerance is achieved on illegal/indiscriminate parking across the State.
Giwa has therefore urged motorists to collaborate with the government by informing LASTMA of any broken down or abandoned trailer/truck via the Agency’s hotlines: 08100565860, 08129928515 and 08129928593.
