FACTS about the Lagos State Auction Process that happened yesterday.

1. The Lagos State Taskforce in collaboration with the Lagos State Ministry of Justice auctioned 134 forfeited and abandoned vehicles at the Taskforce compound in Alausa, Ikeja.

2. The role of the Lagos Taskforce is to carry out enforcement exercises which are the confiscation of vehicles for traffic offenses and handing them over to the MOBILE COURT (With evidence) for judgment.

3. Some of the cars being auctioned here were confiscated not for ONE WAY alone, other offenses attract just a fine but some people run away from the court process, that's why they have been forfeited to the state government after the stipulated period (BY LAW)

4. The coordinator of the Lagos State special offenses Mobile court was present at the Auction venue, she says the exercise is seamless and well organized and also disclosed all the 134 vehicles on display had gone through the process of the court of LAW before being forfeited.

5. Task force says auction exercise is to desist the public from committing crimes or traffic offenses as no one would be spared if found wanting. He says he hopes that this exercise would serve as a deterrent to other road users who are fond of driving against traffic.

Finally........Enforcement continues

I like the publicity this is getting, we need to be a sane people before we can get leadership right.

Will the 'lucky' buyers have peace of the mind?

Imagine buying your neighbor's auctioned car in this manner.

How come there are no army and police vehicles there? Those people almost always drive against traffic.

Task Force doesn't have power to arrest soldiers or police. You want them to receive punishment?

There are exemptions and exclussions in law,you dont expect ambulances on emergency to stop for traffic lights when the road is clear.
