Ambode Apprehends Soldier, One Other Driving Against Traffic.

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Monday came down hard
on some motorists who drove against traffic along the Muritala
Mohammed Airport Road in Ikeja.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Habib Aruna on
Tuesday, the governor decried the flagrant abuse of the State
Traffic Laws.

Ambode who was returning from Abuja where he had attended an
event apprehended a Nigerian Army personnel who drove a space bus
with registration number JJJ 290 AC.

On sighting the vehicle, he alighted from his car and
reprimanded the officer for “showing a bad example” contrary to
what the Nigeria Army is known for.

The governor reprimanded another offender who drove a saloon car
with registration number LSR 445 ER, for breaking the law
regardless of the dangers involved in driving against traffic.

He condemned the manner at which some motorists drive ‘one way’
to beat the traffic along the Nigerian Air force Base inward
International Airport Road in the Ikeja axis.

Governor Ambode, thereafter, ordered the immediate seizure of
the vehicles and directed that the offenders be prosecuted in line
with the provisions of the traffic laws on the state.
