Gen. Orumov:
The Lagos State House of Assembly wants to pass a bill that will punish offenders but some people are complaining that the punishments are too stiff. Now, can you all See what One-Way driving has caused? Abeg, jail the driver and subsequent offenders of One-way driving.
No two ways about it. The least sentence he'll get is life.

Thats what you get when you have fucktards running your Country.

Cut and join measures..

If we had a comprehensive database, there would be no need for this foolishness called LASTMA.. All they would do is simply take down your number, and arrest you from the comfort of your living room...

These LASTMA touts and other state touts can be very over-zealous in the dispensation of their functions...

Its sad he is dead, but I feel no mercy for him...

LASTMA with all it's flaws is an agency that Lagos State cannot do without, and many of them are proffessional and dedicated in carrying out their duties.

Imagine if na only 'yellow fever' dey conduct traffic for lagos state.

Please remember that a man just died working to feed his family. No allegation of bribe taking has been alleged here.

Guy leave it. I know it's painful. But you have to forget about it and move on. I have once been a victim of traffic police at lions mouth aka Allen junction roundabout. Was particularly painful as they saw it as an opportunity to extort a young driver who has done nothing wrong. Drove all the way from OAU (with all my savings for the semester) without any issues until I was 10min away from home in lag. I swore and cursed the officer after the incident but it was until I put it behind me that I was able to overcome the hurt. RIP Lastma official, may God protect your wife and children from this cruel world.

na waoh, 11k. Highest I ever paid was 3k to traffic police for a very similar offence i.e my front tyres just crossed the stop lines by inches. I reversed when he alerted me of my offence but it was too late and he was adamant on arresting me. He tried forcing me to drive to their mobile court at the council where my car would be seized, had to part with my 3k.

My 'offence' is the same as urs. The traffic light turned red as I was moving and half the trunk of my car had crossed the line. While one was asking me to retreat, the other had forcefully jumped into my car and took me to where they were smoking igbo where they extorted the 10k on a day I went job hunting. To all those running their mouths about my culpability I say may you experience a day with these evil men and again, I say again may all evil LASTMA officials be crushed to death by any moving objects driven on one way by mad drivers.

Isaactop9: 9jaria dont need ppl lyk u but we need ppl lyk him who are ready to die for the truth.

Die for which truth?

Last time i saw this incindent was 2010 along ojota road where a Lastma official was chasing the driver trying to extort money from him and both were practicing stunts and luck ran against him when he was crused to a contruction truck.

There is never a truth in Nigeria. Ask your PASTORS

Seems they like arresting drivers that crossed the stop line by few inches. No wonder those agberos and commercial bus drives call them "LINESMAN" instead of "Lastma". grin

The man is a foot soldier.. However, what he was doing was more about selfishness than it was about doing his work.. I can bet my bottom dollar that when he jumped that vehicle, he was more intyerested in the bribe he would extort from the driver than he was in getting the driver to obey the traffic laws..

Its not his fault that the government has no Data base, however, its not the governments fault that he stood in front of a vehicle.. I can bet you thats not in his scope of work..

LASTMA is an agency that Lagos cannot do without and I absolutely agree with you, but however, it dosent negate the fact that LASTMA is only there because the Traffic unit of the Nigerian Police and the FRSC which are a better and more professionally trained outfit, have both neglected their duties hence the use of untrained touts to molest drivers..

The man died working, however he died foolishly and inasmuchas no allegation of bribery has been indicated, all drivers who have experinced the molestation of LASTMA know that its a case of Guilty until proven innocent..

Only two months ago, one of them colleceted 20,000.00 from me, for cutting and dropping an incoming call.

Was even demanding for 60,000.00, but settled for that when we got to their Office in Victoria Island.

May the soul of the departed rest in peace.

nikkyshyne: This is gruesome. But is this Op guy ok at all? Where in the story did the lastma guy chase the driver to meet his doom? O boi, u need to go back to school.


You should read the article again, though it has contradictions about what really happened.


One of them stood in front of the vehicle while another one attempted to enter the passenger side. However, the driver sped off. The LASTMA official standing in front of the car managed to escape but the one attempting to enter the passenger’s side was crushed.
