The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) says it will establish a special task force to check indiscriminate parking of commercial motorcyclists at the Toll-gate area of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.

Mr Adekunle Ajibade, South-West Zonal Commander of TRACE, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ota, Ogun.

Ajibade said that the Corps Commander of TRACE, Seni Ogunyemi, had given the directive to set up a task force to check excesses of commercial motorcyclists at the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway toll gate.

He expressed worry over incessant cases of road crashes involving motorcyclists at this corridor.

Ajibade said that the task force, comprising Police, Army, and Navy personnel, would be set up to check indiscriminate parking of commercial motorcyclists at the Toll-gate area.

“Any offender caught at the toll-gate axis picking passengers after re-allocating them to a new place would have his motorcycle impounded.

“We are appealing to them to obey traffic rules and use their crash helmets to avert disaster,” he said.

Ajibade warned all road users to exercise patience along this corridor to avoid unnecessary loss of life.

He also stressed the need for commercial buses to desist from discriminate parking on the road all in the sake of picking passengers, to prevent oncoming vehicles from ramming into them.
