The Deputy Director, Public Affairs of the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, Mrs Bolanle Ogunlola, says the Traffic Monitoring and Investigation Unit of the ministry has impounded 57 commercial vehicles and tricycles for traffic violations.
In a statement on Friday in Lagos, Ogunlola noted that the vehicles and tricycles were apprehended when the unit conducted a comprehensive enforcement operation around the Iyana Ipaja garage and its connecting roads.
According to her, the unit focused on both inbound and outbound traffic.
“During the exercise, 57 commercial vehicles and tricycles were apprehended and impounded for various traffic violations, including illegal parking, picking up passengers at undesignated spots, resulting in obstruction of traffic.
“This operation effectively cleared the area of vehicular congestion caused by these infractions, restoring smooth traffic flow and ensuring compliance with traffic regulations,” she said.
