The Director, Public Affairs, Lagos State Taskforce, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem in a statement made available to our correspondent on Monday said the vehicles were impounded “for flagrant violation of the Lagos State traffic law as amended.”
“The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Taskforce), today confiscated seventy vehicles for flagrant violation of the Lagos State traffic law as amended.
