BannarBannar:
. Let me tell you that this LASMA are evil and they try to play on people intelligence to generate money for themselves and if you no gree, they stylishly generate money for the government. Nobody is insane and will like taking one way but this people know some places that are one way and there is no raid sign to guide drive and extort people with that. I remember taking my vehicle just because my tyre was outside the line and they called it one way just to extort people. This Contree is another thing, we pray God will save us.

I try as much as possible not to think about the corruption in this country. It seems almost everyone is corrupt indirectly or directly.
Sorry for the bad experience you had with them.

What I went through and the in the hands of those guys eeeh hmm, I spend not less than 80k, not to talk of little little ones for bribe chaii I have run leave Lagos

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.

This is daylight robbery by the government m

What saner climes are you talking about. People make legit mistakes and are sometimes confused. Do you extort them?.
My wife was driving in downtown Calgary about 5 years ago and the road signs were confusing .
She ended up on one way facing oncoming traffics.
The police came and she explained to them, they stoped traffic and excorted her out of the situation.

No fine and no tickets.

Lastma are legit thugs who extorts people.

200,000? WTF!

Remind me never to drive in Lagos.

Thank your stars she met the right one and she got away with it, 99% of other people dont get away with it. Stop coming here to start sounding funny like everyone just gets of like that. Some people get there licenses revoked for driving one way.
So you would have rather they gave the guy a pat on the back and send him home ?
Plus do well to also tell people here the fine for driving against traffic.

Alot of people have been calling me stingy man, that I don't want to buy another car for myself to use for run around in Lagos, despite the fact that I need it....

One way driving is bad and should be condemned. People make mistakes and in saner climes, you don't set traps for them like LASTMA does, signs are conspicuously displayed to help every one. LASTMA, most of the time try to trick and extort from innocent motorist on streets not clearly labelled as one-way.
I lived and drove in Lagos for more than 15 years and i know this for a fact. I have driven one ways out of mistake and when i discovered, i corrected myself immediately. This happened in saner climes and no law in any sane country will allow thugs like LASTMA and NURTW to enforce traffic rules.

Waakanda:


Wow... the process is too cumbersome. I'll rather be careful out there when driving.

Asin ehhnnn...

When you take correction it should not be a crime. It is when you start making arguments that's when you have committed a crime. But Lagos no. They just looking for victims

200k for road traffic fine? Are you high? What is the offence?

Stop deceiving us jare, how can you pay 200k traffic fine on a car thats worth less than 200K.

it's really sad how u just send offensive comments to people you dont even know. Why would I come here to waste my time making a post that is not real. Try and stop on the road ask a Lastma official how much will a one way offender whose car has been judged to be forfeited to the state will pay to retrieve it.

200k for a road traffic offense is absurd! You people make these hoodlums appear superior, what is the fine for driving againt traffic?

Did you bother to find out? FRSC has a fine list, FIRS has a fine list, so where is lastma's fine list?

Anyway its your money, next time pay 1 million, I dont care.

But I can assure you that money went into private pockets. If you can afford that as a fine, you should have challenged it in the first place.

Hi, good evening everyone.

Hi, good evening everyone.

I was stopped at Owode Onirin side for passing one way by LASAMA. They forcefully came into the car, starting removing and putting back my key. They now concluded that I should go to their office. The officer mistakenly locked both of us in the car, and was trying all he could to get out. I told him that he has to start the ignition but the key is very fragile so let me do it for him. All these while I’ve gone with one of their officers to turn. That one said I should pass one way but because of trafffic and I didn’t know the route well, I passed normal way. He called and said I was kidnapping him.

Back to the car and ignition, the man refused to give me the key and forcefully put the key in the ignition and broke it. The key fell to the floor and I struggled to take it, he struggled with me. Bruised my eye, and twisted my wrist.

They took the car to Ketu police station and started lying that I slapped him. They saw that the policeman was trying to see if they truly broke the key, they got angry that the policemen were questioning them and left for their own office at Ketu. Getting there, they liked all sorts and said I slapped him. That’s all they were saying.

I didn’t slap this man.

Anyways, they gave me a slip and were saying I should go to mobile court.

What should I do please? What’s going to happen at the court? Should I go with a lawyer?

Like I said before , its people like you that make these hoodlums powerful, you should have taken them to court, posted their atrocities on social media, no one can forcefully enter your car unless they break your glass, that should have been sufficient proof that they have hostile intentions.
200k is enough to hire a lawyer to take these hoodlums to court, in 2021 someone took the delta state vio to court over road worthiness certificate for private vehicles , the court in delta state ruled that road worthiness cannot be issued to private vehicles.

You can check that one out o verify. Years ago someone challenged frsc over the issuance of the new number plates for vehicles, these guys are looking for revenues, but they cant use illegal means to be extorting the masses .
Do you see lastma disturb commercial vehicles or articulated trucks? Only private vehicle owners, isnt that strange?

Liuhj

This is the kind of topic that we need on the front page...

We the Citizen needs to expose them the LASTMA & Police on this issue of One Way that are secretly created for inflicting cost on the Citizen. This has become a norm in Lagos.
If you travel to neighboring states, one way are clearly indicated by sign-post.

The Concerned Citizens Group of Nigeria should be concerned on this matter.

My suggestion is that let the Citizen start to erect One-Way Sign post at those Junctions, Close roads, Streets and routes to expose those naughty LASTMA & Police One-Way Operators.

The Govt won't erect those signpost in order to frustrate vehicle owner under the guise of punishing offenders.

There are place you can park in front of your office. Imagine a client park, or an applicant comes with a car for an interview, only for his or her car to be tolled for packing. What explanation do u have for such instance.

Meanwhile, the same stupid-idiot tolled one of Dangote cars, the office has been locked for the past three month.. No operation since....

That is to tell you how thing goes in this country....

Them go comot d sign post for night..

27Pushing30:


Dude i'm telling you facts if his car was really overheating he wouldn't need to pay.

sorry but people lie.

Most time's its also a question of manner of approach... a subordinates car broke down he pushed it to a bus stop , LASTMA dude comes and tells him he cant park in a B/Stop
He flares up and refuses to listen to LASTMA dude's suggestion they push it to the nearby street (off llekki epe)

LASTMA calls towing van , they tow it to their office around Sura.

Dude;s mechanic come's , fixes the car and the dude is forced to pay the standard Tow "extortion" lol i think N21,000 plus pay to inflate his car tyre which LASTMA deflated.

The guy might not be lying about the car overheating but might also not be telling the full truth.

Lol..pray make ur car no break down,touts will first bill u,if u do any how they will help u call lastma....trust me it pays u make touts push d car comot for road, than make those demonic lastma meet u .lol...if u drive uber u go under stand so many tins wrong for this Lagos road

[quote author=Millyyyyy post=112951501]My lawyer is also advising that I go to court. Infact their are even insisting that I go to court. I have my evidences and co, and would probably have to challenge them since it’s been referred to court.[/quot


Without going to court u can beat down the price to hundred K,just find another officer xplain give am with abeg and one pity story find am some thing....it's like they will give u lawyer there, but they work together..

Abegi, 200k? Is the car you own even worth 200k? That flood damaged corolla you be been using to harras girls in Ikorodu.

This is institutionalized extortion and needs to be challenged in court.
Will those criminals charge a senator or govt official who drives against traffic?
Will they charge a uniform man who drives one way?
The answer is no?
Those who give up their fundamental rights because of security always lose both.
If una like dey dash dem 200k everyday, one day they will ask for your life.
