Operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority have impounded 123 vehicles over illegal parking/garages around bridges across Lagos Island.
This was contained in a statement on the official X handle of LASTMA.
The General Manager of LASTMA Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki who led the combined enforcement team with security personnel disclosed that the exercise was carried out based on the directive of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation Sola Giwa.
Mr. Bakare-Oki disclosed further that the Agency swung into action after several warning issued to both private and commercial bus drivers to stop indiscriminate parking/illegal garages around bridges was not complied with.
He confirmed that these 123 vehicles were impounded around Ebute-Ero by Idumota Bridge, Simpson bridge, Apongbon Under Bridge and Elegbata area of Lagos Island.
According to the General Manager “It was nauseating seeing these private and commercial bus drivers constituting public nuisance by parking at free will around bridges thereby causing avoidable gridlock and inconvenience.”
