Court orders confiscation of 31 vehicles to Lagos govt

Court orders confiscation of 31 vehicles to Lagos govt

The Lagos Mobile Court has ordered permanent surrendering of  thirty-one vehicles to the state government for breaching the Traffic Laws. The Chairman of the Lagos State Environment and Special Offences, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, issued the order after the drivers pleaded guilty.

He held that thirty -one defendants pleaded guilty to the one-way traffic offence they were charged with. “These 31 drivers were charged with driving in the direction prohibited by Law punishable under Part (III) item 27 of the ‘Lagos State Transport Sector Reformed Law of 2018.

He stated that, however, 43 other drivers arraigned for plying the BRT corridors and causing road obstructions have been ordered to pay fines to the government in accordance with the law and severity of their offense.

Egbeyemi confirmed that out of 160 arraigned traffic offenders including those apprehended for driving against traffic, only 74 had so far appeared before the court. While urging remaining 86 others who are yet to appear before the court to do so, Egbeyemi said the agency acted in response to series of complaints from the public.

“The complaints, particularly from motorists were that activities of one-way drivers were causing serious traffic gridlock on daily basis since the #EndSARS protest across the State.  “It is painful that with a high level of enlightenment campaigns and several warnings by the government, motorists including private car owners are still driving against traffic. “The penalty for such offense is outright forfeiture of the said vehicle to the government,” he said.
