“I don’t want officers that will torture my citizens” – Ambode warns LASTMA, VIO

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, has warned officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA and Vehicle Inspection Officers, VIOs to stop the act of forcing themselves into vehicles of traffic offenders.

Ambode gave the warning during an interactive session with officials of LASTMA, Kick Against Indiscipline, KAI and VIO at Government State House, Ikeja,on Wednesday, June 3.

The governor said the act is against the administration’s promise to residents prior to the 2015 governorship election.

Ambode said: “I want LASTMA, KAI, and VIO to help this government deliver on the promises made to the public, and there are two promises: to make life simpler for every resident of Lagos and make each resident happier than before.”

“I don’t want officers that will torture my citizens. They may be offenders but don’t torture them. Don’t jump into their cars to enforce arrest.”

“This is where you have to be creative and use technology in the implementation of the law. For now, no harassment.”
