THE Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Task Force), today confiscated seventy (70) vehicles for flagrant violation of the Lagos State traffic laws.
The vehicles were impounded in coordinated operations carried out at target locations where reckless traffic violations by commercial transporters caused avoidable traffic congestion and general public nuisance.
Warning motorists in the habit of traffic recklessness, the Chairman of the task force, CSP Adetayo Akerele, maintained that the agency under his stewardship will not spare violators of environmental and traffic laws of the state or concede to them a 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 in Ikeja and Ladipo by Five Star, along the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway.
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 by someone on the road.
