Six fake officials of the Lagos State Traffic
Management Authority, LASTMA, have been arrested by the Lagos State Taskforce
on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit.
They were caught while allegedly
extorting money from motorists in Lagos Mainland, Lagos State.
Taskforce Chairman, Bayo
Sulaiman, a Chief Superintendent of Police, said the fake LASTMA and taskforce
officials issued forged receipts to motorists after threatening them with
prosecution.
“We got the information about the people who
have been parading themselves as the taskforce of the Lagos Mainland Local
Government. They have even gone as far as printing fake stickers and copy of
the traffic law which they use to threaten the unsuspecting motorists.
they will claim they are taskforce. On
getting the information I moved my men there to arrest them,” he stated.
