Please, help to share till it get to the necessary authorities.

On Friday d 8th of April, 2022 around 10:35am, i was coming from Mile 2 to Festac. As I was approaching First Gate junction, I had a called and I parked by the Mother and Child Maternity, Amuwo-Odofin, off Lagos-Badagry Expressway, where other vehicles also parked. Meanwhile, no sign that says “No Parking, No Waiting, No Stopping” along the area.
Before I knew what was happening, I saw this SILVER OR ASH COLOUR (not too sure of its colour) KURUPE BUS WITHOUT PLATE NUMBER OR ANY IDENTITY reverse to where I parked and blocked me; and these LASTMA OFFICERS AND POLICE OFFICERS alighted and asked me to open the car door that this is AN ILLEGAL PARKING. Illegal parking kè!!! I responded emphatically.
HOW?
WHAT DID YOU PEOPLE MEAN?
WHAT ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER VEHICLES PARKED BEHIND ME?

Of a truth, i denied them access into my car which prompted them to remove my CAR PLATES NUMBER and they went straight to their office which is just a stone throw from the scene of the incident.

On getting to their office “ZONE 5” located at MAZA-MAZA before FIRST GATE JUNCTION, they had already issued a ticket:

OFFENCE: WILLFUL OBSTRUCTION ON HIGHWAY.

FINE: 50,000 NAIRA.

They (THE OTHER LASTMA OFFICERS AT THEIR OFFICE) never bothered to hear from me what actually happened.

They all turned deaf ears to everything I was saying.
All they were saying was to go and look for money and pay the fine or else I would be paying demurrage.

To cut a long story short, I was able to raise the 50,000 Naira and paid to Lagos State Government Account.

That was my experience in the hand of LASTMA of ZONE 5, MAZA-MAZA/FIRST GATE, AMUWO-ODOFIN, LAGOS-BADAGRY EXPRESSWAY.

Attached the videos and pictures I took at the scene of the arrest, and the payment receipt of the fine for what they termed as an illegal parking.

Kindly watch the videos carefully and look at the pictures if I actually obstructed vehicular movement.

Secondly, is this 1ST AVENUE ROAD, FESTAC now a HIGHWAY?

Thirdly, why can’t they always hear from the suspected offender before they issue an offence ticket?

PLEASE HELP ME SHARE FOR JUSTICE TO BE DONE AND INJUSTICE TO BE CORRECTED.

Tayo.

The right authorities must take up this matter urgently.
Look up their numbers online.

This is gross misconduct from these officers of the law na

Tag them with the Governor, deputy Governor, commissioner of transportation, the LASTMA commander those social influencers on twitter and other social Media

The fine was paid into Lagos State government coffers, and not some random account numbers hence cannot be deemed as extortion.

Sorry to say, there's very little you can do at this stage to get redress

The fear of LASTMA is the beginning of wisdom.
