And I'm 100% sure that those ubiquitous riffraffs are collecting owo load from the drivers.

Those are union officials, not law enforcement officers.

It's clearly stated and can be seen from the video and pictures that the buses illegally blocked the road and turned it into a bus stop.

Last week the Task Force carried out an enforcement action along the Lagos - Badagry Expressway, but okada riders attacked a BRT bus in retaliation.

The korope bus drivers are the most indisciplined in Lagos right now. They obey no traffic rules. The way they beat the traffic light on Keffi baffles me

We hope they learn from this

Lagos State TaskForce @Taskforce112

Today, @Taskforce112 carried out a thorough operation on Kosoko Street in the Berger area, confiscating dozens of vehicles that had been causing severe traffic disruptions and as untold hardship to commuters. The majority of the seized vehicles were mini commercial buses, commonly known as "korope," which had illegally occupied an entire lane on both sides of the road. This unauthorized parking and encroachment not only created a nuisance but also led to a substantial buildup of traffic, obstructing the free flow of vehicles and pedestrians along the busy route.

During the operation, one driver of a private vehicle known as “kabu-kabu” who tried to evade arrest from the officials attempted to run them over with his vehicle. His reckless act led to his immediate arrest.

@followlasg has reiterated its commitment to maintaining sanity and ensuring the smooth flow of traffic across the Metropolis. This operation serves as a stern warning to commercial drivers and other road users about the consequences of willfully obstructing traffic especially at petrol stations.

Is it that people can't read or what is the issue??

The dead person was known by an alias, "Abuja Area Mama", but the police has now identified him by his government name and identity, "Ifeanyi Chukwu-Agah Benedict, a ‘33’ year old man who hails from Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State and resides at Dapé in Karmo Area of Abuja".

How is that hard to understand?

I congratulate Edo Queens on their victory today in Ivory Coast against FC Inter. You dominated the game and gave a good account of yourselves, dictating the tempo and holding on until the last minute.

You were spectacular today, keeping up with the pace from the beginning of the tournament. You have remained unbeaten and are now heading into the finals with much confidence.

I celebrate your genius and want to tell you that every girl child, woman, and Edo indigene is proud of your performance.

As you continue with your laudable display at the WAFU Zone B CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers, we are reassured of your resolve to come out victorious in the finals and ultimately make a loud statement on the continental stage.

Road to qualification.

There are 6 African sub-confederations (West Africa has been divided into 2). Each sub-confederation will provide one club and the 6 clubs are usually joined by the host and the defending champions to create an 8 team Champions League competition. However, this year, Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa are both the hosts and defending champions.

The 6 sub-confederations are:

1) Union of North African Football (UNAF)

2) West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone A

3) West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone B

4) Union des Fédérations de Football d'Afrique Centrale (UNIFFAC)

5) Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA)

6) Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA)

Edo Queens will qualify for the main Champions League competition if it wins the WAFU Zone B final on Friday.
