Topic: DID GOVERNOR FASHOLA INTRODUCE LASTMA TO PUNISH MOTORIST

please someone there should help expose the excesses of the lastma in lagos state. they apprehend vehicles at will, they extort as much as N50,000 from motorist, they collect bribe as much as 10k. instead of helping motorist they lure them to commit offense, they beat up drivers and conductors. ten- fifteen lastma along side mobile police men in a bus-stop hmmmmm fashola read this and correct this nuisance

No doubt the Lagos state government meant well when it set up the LASTMA to ease traffic bottlenecks and without mincing words, one can say there's been a remarkable improvement.
Regrettably, we should expect that for an Agency like LASTMA that parades some of the most uncouth set of people in Lagos State as it's employees, nefarious acts like you mentioned will always be a recurring issue.
However, it takes two to tango! If drivers in Lagos (both private and commercial) don't drive recklessly, I am more certain that LASTMA will have no cause to "extort" money from any driver.

Please note that LASTMA was not introduced by Gov. Fashola but during Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu's administration as the governor of Lagos State.
