Lagos deputy governor calls Lekki car spotting ‘criminal’, vows crackdown

Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat has declared the practice of stopping luxury vehicles along the Lekki-Epe Expressway as criminal. He pledged a firm crackdown on individuals engaging in this activity, emphasizing the state's commitment to maintaining order and safety on its roads.

Hamzat highlighted the effectiveness of surveillance cameras in aiding authorities. These cameras have reportedly helped identify and apprehend individuals who obstruct traffic by stopping expensive cars on the busy expressway. This technological approach underscores the government's strategy to deter such disruptive behavior.

The deputy governor's strong stance signals a zero-tolerance policy towards actions that compromise road safety and public order. The crackdown aims to ensure the unimpeded flow of traffic and prevent any form of illegal obstruction on key transportation routes within Lagos.
