LASTMA – Nigezie Xtreme

Officials from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) plead for forgiveness from residents of Lagos for mistreating them in the past.

This comes ahead of the March 18 election where Babajide Sanwo-Olu, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), will compete for the governorship of Lagos against Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party, Funso Doherty of the Africa Democratic Congress, Abdulazeez Adediran of the Peoples Democratic Party, and 11 others. A video making rounds on social media shows LASTMA officials dancing to the tune of the song ‘ewe orijin laja, eni aba se ko firijin wa’ which translates to ‘whoever we may have offended, please forgive us.’ Earlier, some civil servants in Lagos claimed that they were threatened with job loss if they fail to support the incumbent governor’s re-election. However, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s media aide, Gboyega Akosile, debunked this on social media. Watch the video below …

Mechanic laments after being stopped and extorted by VIO, Police, and LASTMA in one day

An auto repairman has taken to social media to recount his shocking encounter with multiple agencies of law enforcement.

The mechanic revealed that he was stopped by three agencies of law enforcement and it all happened in one day in Lagos.
According to a Twitter user who shared the post, the repairman took to his WhatsApp to lament about his ordeal as he revealed how it happened.

According to the mechanic identified as Akorede, he was first blocked by VIO agent at Oyingbo and questioned about his fractured windscreen.
The inspector attempted to force him to pay a N40k fine, but after speaking with the owner of the car and explaining things, he was only allowed to go after paying N5k.
While driving out of VIO office, he was pulled over by a police officer who accused him of violating traffic lights. He explained why, but the officer paid no attention; however, he took advantage of an opportunity to flee when officer was talking to someone else.
At Alagomeji, just when he had finished making use of ATM, LASTMA officials rushed him, ready to fine him for not wearing a belt.
