No amount of intimidation and assault on our personnel will make us lose focus in the discharge of our duties, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, has declared.
The agency made the declaration on Tuesday in reaction to an attack on one of its personnel, Mr. Kosoko Razaq.
In a message on Twitter, the General Manager of LASTMA, Engr. Olajide Oduyoye, is quoted as warning, however, that anyone caught harassing its officers would be dealt with.
The tweets read: “The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has condemned an attack on its official, Mr. Kosoko Razak, by a suspected commercial driver of an unpainted Suzuki Minibus with registration number AAA 693 YC at Jakande in Lekki, Lagos State.
“Oduyoye said LASTMA will remain focused on its duties despite “intimidation” and “assault” on its personnel, adding that anyone caught harassing its officers will pay dearly for such offence as stipulated by the Law.
“He implored motorists to ensure compliance with the traffic laws of Lagos State to avoid arrest, as its personnel will continue to apprehend traffic offenders and bring them to justice.”
