Deputy Governor Of Lagos Apprehends Traffic Offenders (Photos)
The Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, apprehended traffic offenders yesterday. He was on his way to Lagos State University (LASU) to deliver a lecture when he caught the road users. Their offense was one way driving from Carter bridge axis down to Mile 2 axis.
Traffic offense is a very serious issue in Lagos state and these offenders caught by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State will surely face the law.
Any one way traffic offender caught in the act is likely to face 3 years imprisonment because it is stated in the Lagos State Traffic Laws.
