The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has impounded 40 illegally parked trailers, trucks and tankers under flyovers between the Costain and the Iganmu area of the state.
LASTMA General Manager, Bolaji Oreagba disclosed that the enforcement operations were carried out immediately after the expiration of a ‘7-day Removal Order’ served on the owners of the trucks.
Oreagba added that the level of voluntary compliance was encouraging as majority had removed their heavy duty vehicles before the commencement of the enforcement operations.
“We are very happy with the level of voluntary compliance by owner/drivers of these illegally parked trucks including other illegal workshops such as Iron benders, mechanics, food/ Fruits vendors”, he said.
He added that the 40 impounded trailers were contravened around Ijora, Costain, Breweries and Ajegunle Park by Ijora Mobil Road area of Iganmu in Lagos.
According to him, the owners and drivers of the impounded trailers would be charged to court accordingly.
