LASTMA, Ambode And Lagos Traffic by everrichy(m): 5:25pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
From what I think, it's seems the Lagos traffic that has recently returned is a deliberate attempt by the LASTMA officials to undermine the authority of Governor Ambode. For me personally, I'm happy about the ban not to seize/impound vehicles from motorist because I have been a victim of that. The Friday to the week the announcement was made by the governor, I parked my car properly in one of the car parks in Oshodi. Unfortunately, my car was exactly a week old that day and I have used this said car park numerous times without any incidence. However, they showed up suddenly with a Police squad and I was arrested along with another man for illegal parking. Now the arrest wasn't really an issue, but the untold hardships I had to go through before I got my car back. First of all, I was booked twice for the same offence. This amounted to #40,000 instead of #20,000. Still, it didn't end there. I had to pay extra #15,000 for tax clearance, demurrage, and to gauge the deflated tires. It wasn't an easy experience because I had to run around to borrow money because of the daily increase of the demurrage. I got the car out on Monday while the announcement was made on Thursday for people to go and pick up their seized vehicles. It was a very painful experience because I'm yet to pay back the #55k I borrowed. But it's still a relief that my car won't be booked again, at least for now. However, the traffic? Really unbearable. I just hope solution is found ASAP. Thank you. |
