Dear Gov Sanwolu

This is a Open message to the Lagos state governor before its too late.
The governor need to cut the excess of LASTMA official before they created bad feeling within the resident.
We know that during the last administration of Gov Ambode, one of the policy lagosian willnt forget is how he reduced the power of LASTMA and cut off their excess, since Gov Sanwoolu enter, it as been a different ball game and this people have been exhorting money from resident illegally or arrest people unlawful.
Personally I had an encounter with LASTMA official Olowu division today November 4th 2019, lead by one Mrs Adeyinka
I was coming from VI heading toward CMS, I notice my car door wasn't properly luck and I decide to slow than and pack for me to close the door properly so that it willnt cause accident for other road users.
I haven't pack before a LASTMA car block my car, I ask them what is my offence, they didn't answer me,
Please note this is the same place where mile2 ikeja bus are loading on top of CMS bridge, those commercial vehicle are left there operating while they came to challenge me, I ask their team leader politely what my office was, she said I should give her my driver licence, I show her the photocopy of my driver licence, she insist it must be original if nt, she will tow the vehicle to there station, I started appealing to her that instead of towing the vehicle, they should drive the car, then I will follow them to the station, the woman insist she must tow the vehicle despite not resisting the arrest, the proof her in the video record attached.
Before we know, a towing vehicle came to tow my car, I stood in front of my car that I give you the permission to drive the car to your office if you feel I had committed offence, but she insisted she must tow the car, during my appeal for them not to tow the vehicle, I was manhandled by the other LASTMA official, at the end of the day when people start gathering, the woman agreed that one of them should drive the vehicle to there olowu station, in the process of going to there station, the LASTMA official that drove my car started negotiating with me that how much will I pay to settle myself, I insist that if they wanted to ticket me, I rather pay to government than paying them bribe,
I was taken to there olowu station, I was ticket N20,000 naira in which I pay and collected the receipt. The receipt is attached for reference.
This kind of treatment for the resident of our dear state is nt suppose to be, governor need to do something before its too late, so many people had bad experience of LASMA official since Gov Sanwoolu enter, 2023 is around the corner. I believed if LASTMA is nt call to order, they will also bring back the bad memory of lagosian are trying to forget

Madman dey call madmen to order?

I we soon attached the video for people to watch and see

Yes a friend of mine complained recently...

Lastma collected 10k bribe from her. She was lost and took the wrong turn at a lastma trap in V.I.

They are thieving rogues

If ambode could curtail them, then sanwo olu can too if only he had the political will or half the brain of Ambode

Asiwaju and all the APC party leader should intervain in this LASTMA recent excessive, if not, it may affect the political future of the party comes 2023

My charges

I choose to pay the unlawful fine instead of bribing them with 10k, they ask me and I record it down, but I insist I we rather pay the fine than pat away with bribe.
I will also like to know if in future people shouldn't wait on the road again when they notice danger durring the driving, while I was at the station so many people share there Encounter stories with LASTMA

I was on traffic queue on top eko bridge going down towards onikan , when I see the traffic is much I decided to go further to follow TBS , immediately am about driving out the traffic , next is their vehicle , they put hook under my front tire , snapping pictures , before I know my front and back doors are open , the one in front started dragging my key that's in the ignition , I was asking them if I can't drive out of traffic to go further on same straight route?

the white line they were trying to show me was no longer visible, and not that I entered the lane , I told them this line is not visible enough besides people are driving out , and buses are there loading. I was lucky a car hit me from behind , broke my rear light in the process while they trying to run from them. that brought out the lion in me , one by one they started going down. meanwhile I spent 15k to buy a new light later.

if they have to work in some areas u have to make sure the road signs are visible enough and working , u have to make sure everyone is obeying it , don't look for a gentle man as scapegoat.

at governor's road in alausa , one traffic light is hidden under a tree , instead of them to clear the leaves, they chose to hide beside it and wait for a JJC ,

Lol... So make lastma no chop for this Buharific regime??

When you were sheepishly supporting Sanwo baba, you didn't think of tomorrow??

Who let the dogs OUT

It's unfurtunate and that's why it's necessary for the governor to take a decisive step to cub their excess, if not they will spoil his government.

ok at ilupeju by pass going oshodi , normally we coming on 2 lanes , till u get to the traffic light before u know u that on the right lane u must go towards the side to the rail line , most driver are not aware of this , ok on getting there instead of the road signs to be like 200 meters away telling u u must go right , but right at the traffic light u see the sign to turn right on red , some on getting there they try to move to left lane to continue going straight , before u know they have started opening your car doors , cos they know a novice on that road must fall victim , no road mark indicating u must go right until u reach the dead end u see it on the traffic light , meanwhile if u know someone must go right u the authorities have to mark it on the track like 200 meters before the dead end.

they are using all these tricks on road users , at gtb bank HQ in VI, that's if u want drive in before before muri okunola park going right before falomo bridge , the ' don't go left sign' is hidden under a tree.

at ikeja old local government office , behind ikeja along , in the morning that road is one way in the evening it's 2 way , people do fall victim there cos the road sign is after u have entered the road already , this is very bad !!!

Durring Gov Ambode, their was sanity in LASTMA behaviour toward the lagosian, if your vehicle spoiled, they will be there to bear of help, report of Rascals behaviour of LASTMA official was drastically reduced.
Since Gov Sanwoolu resume office, they have started their rascal behaviour. And the government his looking other way round

Please keep quiet and enjoy the governor you voted !!!!

Basis of sharing the experience, is not because of me but for the sake of other innocent nigeria that are intimidate daily, so that government should do something.

I don't see anything wrong in you paying 20k.

That's revenue generation.

So Lagosian should be illegally charged abi? And because I choose not to compromise my stand, just to be a good citizen, then you claim it's right.
Are you aware that if I choose to pay them 10k or even 5k, they would have leave me and go but because I decide amnt ready to compromise my stand, that was what cost me N20k.
What of innocent people that cannt raise Such money and find themself in such situation?
Be realistic my friend
