Irked by the flagrant abuse of
the Lagos State Traffic Laws, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday evening came
down hard on some recalcitrant motorists who drove against traffic along the
Muritala Mohammed Airport Road, Ikeja.
Returning from Abuja where he had
attended the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council, Governor Ambode
was shocked at the manner some motorists drove ‘one way’ to beat the traffic
along the Air-force Base inward International Airport Road, Ikeja.
He was particularly angry that
one of the offenders, an army personnel, who drove a space bus with registration
number JJJ 290 AC, would choose to blatantly contravene the law.
The Governor, on sighting the
vehicle, alighted from his car and reprimanded the officer for showing a bad
example contrary to what the Nigeria Army is known for.
Another offender, who drove a
saloon car with registration number LSR 445 ER, also got some schooling from
the Governor for breaking the law regardless of the dangers involved in driving
against traffic.
Governor Ambode immediately
ordered for the vehicles to be impounded, while also directing that the
offenders be prosecuted in line with the provisions of the Traffic Laws.
