Taskforce seizes 70 vehicles in Oba Akran, Bariga, Ladipo

The Lagos State Task Force impounded 70 vehicles on Monday for "flagrant violation of the Lagos State traffic law," according to a statement by the agency's director of public affairs, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem.

“The vehicles were impounded in coordinated operations carried out at target locations where reckless traffic violations by commercial transporters cause avoidable traffic congestions and general public nuisance,” the statement said.

The coordinated operation targeted areas such as Bariga, Oba Akran, and Ladipo by Five Star, which are notorious for congestion caused by commercial drivers. Taskforce Chairman CSP Adetayo Akerele warned that violators would face strict enforcement. "Traffic logjam is not natural but a product of recklessness on the road,” he said.
