The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Taskforce) has 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 by the Taskforce on Monday morning.
The targeted locations were those where reckless traffic violations by commercial transporters cause avoidable traffic congestions and general public nuisance.
Warning motorists in the habit of traffic recklessness, the Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce and a Chief Superintendent of Police, Adetayo Akerele, maintained that the agency under his stewardship will not spare violators of environmental and traffic laws of the state any breathing space, adding that only when citizens cooperate and obey relevant laws, will environmental sanity, safety and security of the citizenry can be improved and preserved generally.
The enforcement was 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
