Update : Health Plus Failed To Pay Parking Levy, LASPA Explains Why It Clamped Vehicle At Its Premises

Update : Health Plus failed to pay parking levy, LASPA explains why vehicle in its premises was clamped by its officials.

Video earlier suggested that the vehicle parked in a car park was unlawfully clamped by the officials of LASPA.

But in a statement, LASPA explained that the organization shunned payment of ‘Annual Corporate Parking/Set Back Levy’.

The agency vowed it will not be deterred from performing its regulatory role by unpatriotic individuals.

The Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) has reacted to a viral video circulated by Health Plus Pharmacy alleging that a vehicle parked at its premises in Allen, Ikeja was unlawfully clamped by the agency.

In a statement by LASPA, the agency vowed it will not be deterred from performing its regulatory role by “unpatriotic individuals who resort to fake news in order to evade payment of taxes and levies due to the government.”

LASPA further highlighted the issues that led to clamping the tyre of the vehicle parked in front of Health Plus premises.

“Lagos State Parking Authority is the regulatory body established to monitor private and commercial facilities to forestall indiscriminate parking along roads and setbacks in the State.

“In December 2022, the Authority issued demand notices for Y2023 parking levies to private and public corporate organisations, including Health Plus Pharmacy, and thereafter, circulated reminders that were duly acknowledged by defaulting organisations.

“Officers seen in the video were on a final visit to seek payment for legitimate levies due to the Lagos State Government. It is evident that the officials were non-confrontational and professional in their conduct during the exercise.

“All demand notices served to the company and duly acknowledged are hereby presented to members as a display of transparency by our institution.”
