Mr Bolaji Oreagba, General Manager, Lagos State Traffic Management Authourity (LASTMA), has told officers of the agency to desist from assaulting motorists in the state.

He advised  officers of the agency to make decorum and civility  their watchwords while discharging their duties on the road.

He spoke in his office against the backdrop

 of a video trending online where a LASTMA officer, Alabi Olanipekun was seen to have assaulted an alleged traffic offender within the  vicinity  of the agency at Ilasan, while trying to prevent him from making a video.

At a meeting with the complainant, Edenze Daniel Uchenna,the agency’s boss  assured  him that the officer would face disciplinary action in line with  the extant rules and regulations of the civil service.

He said henceforth any official found to have acted unprofessionally in the discharge of his duties would   face the music,because such action negates the training and retraining invested in them by the State Government.

Oreagba tasked  road users to always abide by the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018 in order to move the state to greater height.

  Edenze commended the agency’s boss for the gesture, noting  that he was not well informed that he could obtain redress easily from LASTMA.
