Operatives of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) on Thursday, November 23, impounded fifteen tankers parked indiscriminately along 2nd Rainbow down to Mile 2 Bridge, Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Lagos.
A statement by the director of the Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, said the enforcement operations were carried out on the directives of the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa.
Some of the impounded tankers were apprehended inside Mile 2 Estates after investigations revealed that some of them now parked indiscriminately thereby causing serious traffic for motorists coming out from the estates.
LASTMA Director of Operations Peter Gbejemede said the enforcement exercise was in accordance with the Law and would be continuous until zero tolerance is achieved on illegal/ indiscriminate parking across the State.
The statement quoted Giwa as urging motorists to collaborate with the government by informing LASTMA of any broken down or abandoned trailer/truck.
