POLICE FOIL CONFUSION AS UNKNOWN TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS INVADE LAGOS
Police in Lagos have intercepted a strange group of usurpers posing as traffic officials on Lagos roads. Dressed in grey and black uniforms, the group, numbering about 35 invaded Lagos roads like Ojota, Toll gate and Ikorodu Road at about 7 a.m., causing confusion on the roads in their attempt to take over the job of LASTMA.
The unknown people, whose intention could not be easily ascertained, were seen positioned in strategic locations where they engaged LASTMA officials who challenged them in arguments, claiming that they were sent to take over federal roads.
They took Lagosians by surprise and instilled fear in a lot of people who were going to their offices early, as many could not explain their mission in the areas noted for being peaceful and hitch-free,
It took the intervention of the Police from the Lagos Command, to get them off the road and return normalcy on the roads after about four hours of causing confusion, attempting to fight LASTMA and generally disturbing the peace of the areas.
Lagos State Government however, appeals to the public to remain calm and go about their normal duties, no matter any form of provocation and or intimidation this faceless group or any other trouble makers may want to plunge them into.
“Let us be more security conscious and report cases of strange movement in our area to the police. Let us also make use of the emergency numbers – 767 or 121 to abate or avert trouble”.
