The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority recovered a gun inside an unregistered vehicle impounded in Lagos for driving against traffic.
This was disclosed by the General Manager of LASTMA Mr. Bolaji Oreagba, through a press statement on Thursday.
He disclosed that the impounded unregistered vehicle was apprehended by the patrol team of the Agency while driving against traffic around Sango-Tedo inward Abijo G.R.A Along Lagos-Epe Expressway.
Oreagba added that the incident was immediately reported to police officers assigned to Lastma officers on routine patrol near the Lagos-Epe Expressway for confirmation.
In a statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs Department LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, the General Manager said “in no time that the owner/driver of the unregistered impounded vehicle noticed that the gun had been sighted inside his car he immediately took to his heel and was nowhere to be found anymore”.
“The unregistered impounded vehicle with the recovered gun had been handed over to the Divisional Police Officer of Ilasan Police Station for further investigations.
Oreagbe, however, urged the populace to be security conscious as the year draws to a close and to make sure that they report any ominous activity in their immediate vicinity to any nearby government security agent.
