Operatives of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), yesterday, impounded 15 tankers parked indiscriminately along Second Rainbow down to Mile 2 Bridge, Oshodi -Apapa Expressway, Lagos.

In a statement by the Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, confirmed that the enforcement operations were carried out on the directives of the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa.

It was further confirmed that some of the impounded tankers were apprehended inside Mile 2 estates after investigations revealed that some of them now park indiscriminately thereby causing serious traffic for motorists coming out from the estates.

According to Director of Operations, LASTMA, Peter Gbejemede, the enforcement exercise was in accordance with the law and would be continuous until zero tolerance is achieved on illegal/ indiscriminate parking across the State.

The Transportation Special Adviser has therefore urged motorists to collaborate with the government by informing LASTMA of any broken down or abandoned trailer/truck via the Agency hotlines; 08100565860, 08129928515 & 08129928593.
