Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele, warned that the agency will rigorously enforce traffic and environmental laws, stating that violators will not be given any leniency. He emphasized that adherence to these laws is essential for ensuring public safety and maintaining order on the roads.

The operations were conducted at various locations, including Okuta Road Junction in Bariga, Oba Akran Road under the bridge in Ikeja, and Ladipo along the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway. CSP Akerele reiterated that traffic congestion is a result of reckless behavior rather than an unavoidable occurrence, asserting the agency’s commitment to tackling indiscipline on the roads.
