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....

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 an ecosystem of extortion..

Reason for the cumbersomeness (lol),
Once u done trust me you will never in your life pass one way again.
In saner climes, I doubt if u will ever be able to drive again or atleast for some years.
Only that in naija even when government provides the road sign the lastma official fit remove or turn am backwards so u wont see it.

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 extort people.

200,000? WTF!

Remind me never to drive in Lagos.

You see. Explain and tell the person to use an alternative route. If he then insists. Then he needs to be arrested or fined
This particular road i was on posed no danger to any commuter there is no on coming traffic. I even followed a vehicle into it. The vehicle disappeared. Like I was lured into the road.

The truth is sometimes u can actually win these guys, let them charge you to a mobile court, defend yourself if truly u didn't see any one way sign, u'll win your case. The truth is they feed on our ignorance most times. Mobile court will not collect an amount as high as 200k for some traffic offence.

Without road signs? You are joke or part of the corrupt system.

If am part of the corrupt system,why did you give bribe why not sure them and make a case there was no sign showing one way?
You would have left your car there,take pi tires of your car (in case of any damage later)and those who stopped you. Your lawyer will file a case on your behalf during LASMA or Lagos State if need be.
Why didn't you go through all this process Why You have no time to waste or money to process or file a case or you don't have a lawyer.

You have all these options and you tell me am corrupt

Driving in Lagos is akin to living in the ancient city of Fulfurrias in Texas USA; you can get arrested for engaging in crime in your dream.

In as much as Lagos Drivers too get their own craze...

LASTMA is becoming a nuisance....all they just want to do is to extort you or generate revenue for state government unjustly.

It's hightime Lagos Government checked their excesses...They are generating lots of cries and attention right now

The same government they are generating revenue for, is the same government you want to checkmate them?

It's not possible.

THEY HAVE NEVER SET ANYBODY FREE FOR UNJUST ARREST. PLEADING NOT GUILTY IS AUTOMATIC 200K. I was accused of overtaking over a yellow line on one of my visits at marina in a traffic jam situation. My vehicle was towed. I was charged to mobile court. A nasty process at oshodi. Went for driver training. Had to pay about 85k as fine. Plus had to do community labour mandatory (ofcos you can bribe your way out of that). Then after about three days with indemnity parking charges of 1k per day, for no fault of mine My car remained in obalende for 3 days. Thanks to unnecessary bureaucracy and corruption. Then had to pump my tyres for 10x the regular price and still had to settle the security men at the gate to leave. That day as I was leaving some soldiers came and insisted one of the LASTMA commanders must follow them to the barracks for towing their vehicle.. see them begging...lol... though I felt the soldiers were wrong but I no pity them.. the guy go collect better drilling.
hopefully you learned your lesson


but wait ooooo 200k fine ? thats almost a ticket price to london ? grin grin grin grin grin

me i dont even drive anywhere far. i cruise my car jeje insde lekki. if i have to go outside lekki ? na uber ooo. i no get money to waste. if i give someone 200k for fine i will have fever for 2 weeks. 200k is like 500 pounds. dayummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My advice here is, Nigerian drivers should strive hard and have functional cameras discreetly
Installed in their vehicle front and back. In my case I informed the two officers I have evidence
that there is no ‘no parking’ sign post and I was ready to follow them all the way to court. I did not
Pay a naira. 200K can buy you working camera and installation.
