Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has concluded plans to arraign 14 personnel before a disciplinary panel over extortion and high handedness in line with the extant rules and regulations of the state.
General Manager, LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba, disclosed this at the weekend, saying the affected officers whose cases have been investigated would be facing Government Disciplinary Committee known as the Personnel Management Board (PMB) Discipline, which would adjudicate their cases in line with the Public Service Rules.
Oreagba said these 14 male officers, 11 seniors and three juniors, were caught at different locations across the state extorting money, bribes, from motorists.
He said the agency would continue to dish severe punishment to officers and men in its effort to weed out the agency of few bad elements tarnishing its image.
“We hereby called on residents, especially motoring public to support us by promptly reporting any errant Officers at the nearest LASTMA offices or use any of the Agency’s complaints hotlines-08100565860, 08129928503, 08129928515 & 08129928597- with proof of evidence.”
