Warning motorists in the habit of traffic recklessness, the statement quoted the Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele, to have maintained that the agency under his stewardship will not spare violators of environmental and traffic laws of the state any breathing space.

He added that only when citizens cooperate and obey relevant laws can environmental sanity, safety, and security of the citizenry be improved and preserved generally.

“The exercise and enforcement were carried out at Okuta road junction in Bariga, Oba Akran road by Kodesoh under the bridge, Ikeja and Ladipo by Five Star, along the Oshodi-Apapa expressway.

“CSP Akerele further said that the agency will not tolerate or surrender to any indiscipline perpetuated by any lawless motorist, as traffic jam is not natural, not created by God, but a product of recklessness on the road,” the statement mentioned.
