Lagos State Government has vowed to send any traffic violator caught driving against the traffic, an act popularly known as ‘One Way’ henceforth, for psychiatric evaluation test.
This was made known by the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on Tuesday, at the commencement of the 2024 ministerial briefing on the activities of the ministry so far during the administration of Lagos State Governor, Bababjide Sanwo-Olu, held at Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
According to Osiyemi, while speaking during the event held at Alausa Ikeja, “The menace of driving against the flow of traffic is worrisome and the state government is determined to curb it.
“Henceforth, any offender apprehended will be taken for psychiatric test as well as prosecuted according to Lagos State Traffic laws.”
While condemning the activities of fake personnel across the metropolis, who he said usually claim to work for the Ministry of Transportation, MOT, Osiyemi released some hotlines – 09020009000, and 09020004000, for people to report such activities to relevant authorities.
He said the lines can also be used for reporting traffic situations around the metropolis.
