Some of us have simply wondered for a long while, why one would board a bus at a bus-stop of one's own volition and someone in some tacky uniform with alcohol reeling through his breathe would appear from nowhere and collect money from the driver for the "passenger-ship".

Wonders will simply never end in Lagos, or maybe this particular one is about to be cracked down.

Chairman of the Lagos State Task Force on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement Unit) says that having nabbed 46 of touts who collect illegal dues outside motor parks (agberos), it has begun a fresh war against the social miscreants.

“Magistrate Jadesola Adeyemi of the Special Offences Court in Alausa sentenced the 46 miscreants to 50-hour community service for constituting an environmental menace.We believe that the punishment will serve as a deterrent to others who might want to constitute a menace to law-abiding Lagosians”, he added.

According to reports, the "agberos' had earlier been restricted from Lagos roads but they obeyed the restriction law for only a month, after which they re-surfaced.

We hope this will be permanent

As much as I support this move, I wish this war can be extended to all inconsiderate lastma Extortionists...........
