The Lagos State Government has said it has given no backing to uniformed traffic agents operating on major highways in the State under the aegis of ‘Federal Taskforce on Sure-P’.
Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, said the government was unaware of their operations, describing them as faceless and illegal.
“These illegal traffic officers currently operating from the old toll gate area with unknown origin and unknown to the Lagos State Government have invaded the roadways with a view to causing public disturbance, as they do not have the backing or the support of the Lagos State Government.”
“The Lagos State Government is therefore using this medium to call on the handlers of this faceless group to withdraw them immediately so as not to breach the peace and tranquillity the state currently enjoys.”
