LASG task force impounds six vehicles, 58 motorcycles for driving and riding against traffic
The operatives of the Lagos State Task Force have impounded six vehicles and 68 motorcycles (okadas) for driving and riding against traffic (one-way) on Apongbon Bridge on Lagos Island, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
SP Olayinka Egbeyemi, Chairman of the Lagos State Task Force who led the enforcement, disclosed that the six vehicles and 68 okadas were impounded for driving and riding against the flow of traffic, an offence under the Lagos State Road Traffic Laws of 2012.
He said he was surprised that motorists and motorcyclists could be driving and riding against traffic on the long Apongbon Bridge without any fear of imminent collusion with on-coming vehicles.
Egbeyemi stated that all illegal commercial motorists and traders operating under the bridge at Apongbon, including those collecting illegal fees must vacate immediately.
