LASG to arraign 14 LASTMA officers for extortion
Fourteen officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority caught at different locations across the state extorting money from motorists are set to face a disciplinary panel.
The agency’s Public Relations Officer, Adebayo Taofiq, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday.
According to the statement, the 14 male officials include 11 officials on the senior cadre and three junior officials.
Taofiq quoted the agency’s General Manager, Mr Bolaji Oreagba, as saying that the cases against them had been investigated and that the next phase was for them to face the panel.
He added that to get rid of the individuals tarnishing the agency’s reputation, the agency would continue to mete out severe punishment on officers who act contrary to the law.
He also cautioned the public to stop bribing LASTMA officials.
