Earlier in November, the Lagos State Government had warned motorists contravening the Lagos State Transport Law (2018) to desist forthwith or face the wrath of the law.

The Chairman of Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit (Taskforce), CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, said that the Enforcement Unit and other relevant Agencies of the State Government are determined to enforce the law on recalcitrant motorists who contravene any part of the stipulated traffic rules.
