When next you ply a BRT lane, be ready to cut grass as punishment.
Seven Lagosians who were caught plying BRT lanes, were ordered to cut grass on the football field of the Ministry of Youth and Social Development remand home, Oregun.
The defaulters were arraigned at the Special Offences Court at Alausa, Ikeja, and were sentenced to one hour of community service in addition to paying a fine.
They were apprehended on Tuesday inside the BRT corridor at Anthony area of Lagos State by LASTMA officials around 9am.
They all pleaded guilty to the count charge of BRT violation and admitted they regularly plied the BRT lanes in order to meet deadlines or beat traffic gridlocks.
But Kimi Egbekun, one of the offenders, maintained that he was caught on his first attempt.
The offenders said they were humbled by the punishment and urged other motorists to avoid using the corridor or face the wrath of law.
The day I see them catch Soja and punish them I will believe they are serious.
