Why you sef take one way. The law is if you are caught taking one way your car will automatically be impounded. So you actually gave bribe.
Some can think they will always get away with it,but one day can be unlucky. Please avoid taking one way

I recently was made to pay N200,000 for a one way offence in Lagos state. This one way had no sign on the road, posed no threat to commuters or oncoming vehicles, the road intact is a useless road, yet it was a one way. LASTMA officials stand by the end of the road to victimized people. Insult you fight you and still take your car.

One other guy paid same N200,000 because he cleared off the way and parked in a one way when his car over heated. Instead of these officers to render him help they took him to the office booked him and made him pay 200k or stand the risk of forfeiting his vehicle

Other payments were N200,000(3rd guy) N100,000 by one old man who just came to Lagos from abeokuta to drop a passenger with N20,000. LASTMA tolled his vehicle and spoilt the shaft.

This is very sad in the end.

Instead of paying while not sue lasma to court for not putting road signs. It wouldn't stop until somebody takes them to court.
20k is for Tinubu Alphabeta.

In as much as Lagos Drivers too get their own craze...

LASTMA is becoming a nuisance....all they just want to do is to extort you or generate revenue for state government unjustly.

It's hightime Lagos Government checked their excesses...They are generating lots of cries and attention right now

The process of retrieving the car is another epistle

First of all you will be given a crazy receipt which they generally refer to as ticket. In this ticket your details and that of your car will be in there and you will also be referred to court with a specific date written on it for you to appear before the Lagos State Mobile court.

On the scheduled court day. A judge will come to the lastma headquarters to preside over the matter. First question will be ARE YOU GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY. If you plead guilty. Judgment will be passed. if you plead not guilty, then your case needs to be look into and if you can prove beyond doubt that you were arraigned unjustly. You might be set free.

NOW:
Once judgement has been passed. You are to wait 2days for the typed judgment to be ready at the mobile court office at bolade. Persons whom have been judged to forfiet their vehicle to the state due to one way offence, have the opportunity to buy it back with a total sum of N200,000 no reduction what so ever. Other persons will get differnent monetary fines according to the final verdict of the judge
Pls wanna be clear.
If forfeiture is passed in a car. The owner has an option to pay a flat rate of 200k to get the car within a stipulated period failure to which auction will take place?

Please ignore this criminal disguising as a victim. It’s either he’s testing the masses to see how vulnerable they can be, so they can start robbing motorist on the road or he’s working for the government to scare people away from road offense.

People should be careful with their reports here , as there’s a sinister move behind this post.

THEY HAVE NEVER SET ANYBODY FREE FOR UNJUST ARREST. PLEADING NOT GUILTY IS AUTOMATIC 200K. I was accused of overtaking over a yellow line on one of my visits at marina in a traffic jam situation. My vehicle was towed. I was charged to mobile court. A nasty process at oshodi. Went for driver training. Had to pay about 85k as fine. Plus had to do community labour mandatory (ofcos you can bribe your way out of that). Then after about three days with indemnity parking charges of 1k per day, for no fault of mine My car remained in obalende for 3 days. Thanks to unnecessary bureaucracy and corruption. Then had to pump my tyres for 10x the regular price and still had to settle the security men at the gate to leave. That day as I was leaving some soldiers came and insisted one of the LASTMA commanders must follow them to the barracks for towing their vehicle.. see them begging...lol... though I felt the soldiers were wrong but I no pity them.. the guy go collect better drilling.

If there were no one way sign at the entrances to the road, go to court and sue LASTMA for refunds and damages.

The courts must compel LASTMA to refund you, and possibly pay you damages caused. Society is partly reformed by court rulings.

One way is wrong, whether it poses a risk or not. Many have gone due to this, so don’t justify your wrong.
Meanwhile, Lagosians are always too in a hurry.

After receiving the judgment document

You will have to take this paper back to head quarters, they will then give you a crazy form yet again which you will have to take to the zone were you were arrested or booked. There the boss will sign and hand you a payment advise which you will take to any bank to make the payment to Lagos State Tax Deposit account.

Once this payment is made, a certificate of payment will be issued as confirmation. This receipt you will take it back to the headquarters at Oshodi Apapa express way. There they will confirm your payment and minute on the document for your car to be released to you. You will then have to made 3 copies each of all the documents in your possession as that moment.

Back to the zone
After the above is done you return you the zone will all the original documents from Oshodi then, they zone commander will confirm the documents and they calculate how long your car has been in their custody and you will be made to pay DEMORAGE N1000 per day. This payment will be made yet again into Lagos state Tax Deposit account.

Release of Vehicle
Once you have made the payment for the Demorage. Come back to the zone with your receipt. Your key will be handed over to you. But your tyres would have been deflated. You still have to give N1,000 to the vulcanizer to get your car tyres back up.


It's illegal to seize one's vehicle because of traffic offence, except the offence is driving without insurance, or driving a vehicle that has no certificate of road worthiness.

People are exploited in Nigeria out of ignorance of the law by police and these other traffic controllers.
