Operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) impounded 15 tankers parked indiscriminately along 2nd Rainbow down to the Mile 2 Bridge on the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Lagos.
In a press statement released by LASTMA spokesperson Adebayo Taofiq, the enforcement operation was carried out on the directives of the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa.
It was further confirmed that some of the impounded tankers were apprehended inside Mile 2 Estates after investigations revealed that some of them parked indiscriminately.
The parking caused serious traffic for Motorists coming out of the Estates.
According to Peter Gbejemede (LASTMA Director of Operations), the enforcement exercise was in accordance with the Law and would be continuous, until zero tolerance is achieved on illegal/indiscriminate parking across the State.
The Transportation Special Adviser therefore urged Motorists to collaborate with the government by informing LASTMA of any broken-down or abandoned trailer/truck.
