That's actually an infringement on the car owner's rights... There are many ways to punish offenders, but not unnecessarily abusing their rights. The following are what you do to traffic offenders, especially repeat offenders: 1. Monetary Fines 2. Jail terms. 3. Suspension of driver's license 4. Complete ban of driving 5. Community service with compulsory driving classes. We are not practicing democracy at all, when elected leaders just trample on citizens' rights. 1 Like |

Slurity: The law was made for people, this is inhuman. You can't compare this to advanced countries where the system works, they have excellent road networks, good transportation system by rail, enjoy better basic amenities and standard of living is high. This is a third world country where the government has failed the citizens, an average Nigerian acquire a fairly used old model car through sweat....and the punishment is to sell it when the whole system is decayed. It is injustice, wicked and too harsh . Just watch out the law enforcers will use this opportunity to extort the citizens, people will suffer pains in their hands. This is nigeria, this law will enrich some people and make many suffer that's why it is injustice 1 Like |

Lagos State should be very careful in its act to punish offenders for these obvious reasons: 1. The environment is getting harder and tougher for survival. 2. If MC Oluomo can be guarded plying one-way with security personnel, this is creating 'unfair' system and people will begin to loose trust on governance. 3. Trailer crushing people to death do not have their trucks forfeited to the act BUT private car owners do. It is creating'unfair'system. 5. I had fallen victim to the circumstance where some traffic control personnel directed me to take one-way to easy congestion which obeyed but at a little distance another set of security personnel got me arrested for plying one-way: these personnel do so sometimes to deliberately nab innocent and law abiding citizens, should such fellow forfeit his/her for this? Somehow, the EndSars was aggrevated because of little things like this in our society, no one should be above the law of the land. To behead cannot be the solution to a headache! Our leaders should be sensitive to pains and agony people undergo. A word is enough for the wise! Copied. Please share in WhatsApp. Let it go round. 3 Likes |

Raiders: You must be a fool.... "Nigerians are very stubborn bla bla bla", are your ancestors Ghanaians? You didn't admit the roads were bad and unmarked therefore making them unmotoroable, but you were quick to spew drivel How is auctioning a ceased vehicle sensible and justified? What happens to fines? Or even jail sentence if the offender refused to pay? This is injustice and shouldn't be emulated by a any state governor. 1 Like |

lilfreezy: I think the fine is for offenders that abandoned their vehicles due to their inability to pay the fine. For instance the fine for driving against traffic, which is the biggest fine is 350k. |

Jagznation:There could be traffic jam anywhere in the world. Lagos drivers are very nutorious and many have died from their recklessness. A very strict law must be enacted and enforced to have a saner Lagos. Everyone loves America but no one remembers the pain and sacrifice of how it came about. Lagos government is being unnecessarily diplomatic. It it only with madness that one can put this Lagos on the right track. 2 Likes 1 Share |

lilfreezy: Bro its as clear as day that most of our roads are bad and unmotoroable hence the mistakes committed by these drivers. It wasn't intentional, the government should be blamed for not building standard roads. If the roads were good the offences could have been minimal. |
