LASTMA seizes 40 Vehicles operating Illegal garages
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has seized 40 Vehicles, 25 commercial and 15 private vehicles operating illegal garages and causing unnecessary traffic at Oyingbo, Ijora and Idumota in Lagos State.
The Director of Public Affiars in LASTMA, Taofiq Adebayo, stated that it was a decision made by LASTMA to restore order and ensure a free road.

“Illegal garages have been a significant challenge in our quest to maintain a seamless traffic flow in Lagos.
“These impoundments send a strong message to all offenders that the state will not tolerate activities that disrupt public order and endanger the lives of our citizens.
“Our goal is to create a safe and orderly environment for all road users and this action is a crucial step in that direction,” Giwa said.
He noted that the targeted areas, Oyingbo, Ijora, and Idumota, are known hotspots for traffic congestion due to unauthorised parking and the establishment of makeshift garages. He said that these activities not only obstruct the free movement of vehicles but also pose safety risks to pedestrians.
“LASTMA’s intervention aims to clear these bottlenecks and enhance the overall traffic situation in these critical areas.
“Residents and business owners have expressed their support for the government’s action, noting the positive impact it will have on their daily activities.
“LASTMA has also assured the public that the operation will be sustained and extended to other parts of the city where illegal garages and related activities are prevalent,” he quoted Giwa as saying.
He urged all vehicle owners and operators to adhere to the state’s traffic regulations and cooperate with authorities to avoid sanctions. He reiterated that the government’s primary objective was to create a better and more livable Lagos for everyone.
He also urged motorists to take ownership of the roads and to promptly inform LASTMA of any broken down or abandoned trailers or trucks via the Agency’s hotlines: 08100565860/ 08129928503.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
