Pictures below was just sent in, it shows officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) stationed at Marwa Bus stop, along Lekki express way, Lagos- Nigeria, seen on Wednesday, January 4, 2017, between 12-20:30 noon detaining a Danfo driver (commercial bus driver) on the busy roundabout for reasons only known to them.
One thing noticeable was that the demeanour of these officials suggests "they were up to something illegal" as they could not give the passengers of the commercial vehicle any answers (meaningful or not) on why the bus was abruptly stopped.
The passengers were disembarked instead, and directed to another commercial bus, while the estranged driver pleaded with the officials. One thing is sure, passengers entered the bus at the designated bus/stop a few meters from the point where the bus was stopped.
Nigerians are tired of these harassment and unlawful obstruction of traffic, and breaking of such laws by officials who are supposed to be prosecutors of offenders of these laws.
This is a New year and seriously States and the Federal Government should not take likely reports with proves, of some elements in the system who by their acts tend to make mullock the noble efforts of the Government.
These officials should be re-oriented and maybe...their remuneration reviewed. Anyone not satisfied with their pay, and resolves to breaking the law should be brought to book.
