The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has impounded 25 commercial and 15 private cars that were operating illegal garages and generating traffic congestion in the Oyingbo, Ijora, and Idumota districts.

This was revealed via a post on LASTMA’s X account on Friday, June 21.

According to LASTMA, the operation targeted unauthorised garages, causing traffic congestion in the Oyingbo, Ijora, and Idumota sectors.

Kayode Odunuga led the team, which received supervision from Sola Giwa, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation.

The post stated:

“In a decisive move to restore order and ensure the free flow of traffic, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa, specifically targeted illegal garages that have been a persistent source of congestion and inconvenience for residents and commuters.”

He noted that this endeavour is part of the government’s overall aim to increase transportation efficiency and preserve road safety.

Giwa emphasised the need of enforcing traffic rules to guarantee a smooth flow of traffic.

“Illegal garages have been a significant challenge in our quest to maintain a seamless traffic flow in Lagos. These impoundments send a strong message to all offenders that the state will not tolerate activities that disrupt public order and endanger the lives of our citizens,” he added.
