The Lagos State government has placed an indefinite ban on the operations of its enforcement team – called MOT (Ministry of Transportation) Taskforce.
Jubril Gawat, a media aide of the governor, made this known in a statement via his Twitter handle on Friday.
There has been a series of allegations against some officials of the MOT Taskforce by road users.
According to the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, the decision to disband the team was reached “after a thorough appraisal and review of the enforcement teams operating under the Ministry of Transportation.”
Mr Giwa explained that the ban is part of measures initiated to “streamline transport enforcement activities in Lagos State to achieve the required effectiveness in line with global best practices.”
He urged motorists to obey traffic rules while warning that the ban is not an excuse for drivers to disobey the traffic laws of the state.
