It was learnt that the task force, which began recruitment and training a few months ago, began operations fully on Tuesday to the chagrin of LASTMA.
The task force officials were seen on many roads in the state including Ojota, Ikorodu Road and Toll Gate.
It was learnt that in many of the locations where they were posted, the members of the task force and LASTMA officials had heated arguments that almost degenerated into fisticuffs
The Commissioner for Information in the state, Lateef Ibirogba, said in a statement that it took the intervention of the police to restore normalcy.
Ibirogba questioned the motive of the task force and alleged that they were a security threat.
He said, "The police intercepted a strange group of usurpers posing as traffic officials on Lagos roads. Dressed in grey and black uniforms, the group, numbering about 35 invaded Lagos roads like Ojota, Toll Gate and Ikorodu Road at about 7am, causing confusion on the roads in their attempt to take over the job of LASTMA."

Well, if both have the same motive to control traffic in order to allow free flow of traffic in lagos. l personally don't see any reason for fight in between them. Because more men are needed to do this job.
ReplyDeleteBut reverse is the case here because their motive is to extort money from the user of the road. That is the main reason they are fighting.
You can not see someone helping you to reduce stress from you and fight that person. It is not possible. THIS IS JUST THE TRUTH.
Let us just beware of Boko Haram being brought into Lagos under the guise of a Task Force.
