The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State, Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has warned traders in Kara Market to desist from causing traffic gridlock at the Berger end of Lagos/Ibadan expressway.
The CP gave the warning on Tuesday when he visited the Ojodu Berger area to appraise the traffic situation in the area.
There had been serious gridlock at the Berger end of the expressway, as a result of activities of cattle/ram sellers whose trading activities have been obstructing free vehicular movement in that axis.
Earlier, the CP had ordered the Area Commander, Sango Ota; the Divisional Police Officer, Ojodu Abiodun division, as well as state traffic officer to move their men into the scene in order to ease traffic congestion in the area.
The CP, who visited the scene on Salah day for on-the-spot assessment with some members of his management team, assured commuters plying the road of their safety.
He also praised his counterpart in Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, for deploying personnel from the Lagos State command to the scene to complement the effort of the Ogun State command.
Odumosu also acknowledged the leadership role of the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Johnson Kokumo, for his relentless efforts to bring succour to commuters plying the road daily.
He there and then warned that henceforth, the command would no longer tolerate any act capable of disrupting free movement of vehicles in any part of the state, and that anyone caught in such an act would be made to feel the weight of the law.
