Lastma is Agbero in uniform, they should be banned.

In the first place what did Lagos need LASTMA for? Disband this useless unit they added nothing or remove nothing to the traffic woes in Lagos then why keeping them and be paying them for doing nothing than collecting bribe and killing people?

GamalNasser:
So police are enraged because a Fulani BDC operator is the victim?

Don't display ur foolishness publicly, must u b tribalistic

Sanwo-Olu gave lastma too much power, especially VIO

Segalinks was not the #EndSars converner. That claim is fraudulent

lonelydora:
While I condole with the family, but the question is...did they actually disobey traffic light?

The LASTMA guys even went to hospital with them, meaning they acknowledged the "medical emergency"

I don't understand this case o. So, because the Fulani man's son, Mustapha, who isn't a doctor said his father died as a result of taking their car away, the NPF now swing into action without waiting for a doctor? Kai!

The LASTMA guys were doing their lawful job na. Sometimes I don't understand Nigeria.

"Fulani man son, Mustaphha"! Your prejudice against all of Humanity is embedded in those words. A Fulani man's son who's not a human being? Have you allowed yourself the presence of mind to know that there could be better ways by which those LASTMA officers could have conducted themselves? Was government created for man, or man for government? Prejudice and hate kill by inches, not at once. Learn empathy and free your mind from impure thought and bias.

These people and ban sha! Never! Lagos will never ban LASMA. Rest in Peace Alhaji

Fine that the LASTMA officials were doing their legal duty since we are told the victim and his son broke traffic laws but my question is why demand for a bribe and take the car away following the health condition of the victim? Why didn't the LASTMA officials give the the victim a ticket to come to their office to clear the matter or better still take note of his license plate number and report to all their various offices so that the car could be impounded should the victim fail to come to clear the matter?

Apart from the "usual" of some govt agents'
bad conduct, the lastma guys are not faulty.

Rip to the dead

All these in Nigeria? Do you live in Nigeria?

Irresponsible governments have allowed these urchins to be invincible

Hundeyin Don enter police!?

You're too much of a polar and bitter person.Bringing up tribe and religion in every situation you find yourself or anyone in.You're one of the reasons Nigeria is falling apart today;yet one of the persons that mostly complain bitterly about how Nigeria is deteriorating.Unfortunately we have plenty of your type in existence in today's Nigeria,hence the unprecedented moral decadence.

This kind of incident happened few days ago in Jalingo with a VIO officer. The officer impounded a Keke conveying a sick girl to the hospital for violating traffic rule. He delayed them from accessing the hospital on time despite pleas and begging.
He later accepted to follow them to the hospital to cease the vehicle after they deliver the sick girl and as fate will have it, the sick girl later died immediately they arrived at the hospital.
He was arrested and charged to court...

Since all these years, you have never raised beyond 300k? That is the amount you keep posting. Now I can also agree that you are a
scammer. Nairaland supposed to trace you with police and arrest you for public scam.
Seun should do the needful. Shameless fool.

For the fact that the man is hypertensive and the son informed the LASTMA officials and they still heald on to his car

That alone which he witnessed is enough to trigger death

You don't seems to know exactly what being hypertensive is, read more about is

Their crises can trigger death, straight on the spot

One of the reasons Ambode was kicked out was because he instructed lasma to focus only on traffic control, not enforcement of fines, same thing with vio told to get off the streets. Of course that affected the "revenue" generation of a certain "alfa betta" and its beneficiaries. It also affected workers of those agencies as their egunje disappeared. Frsc too.
Just as the lekki tollgate protest was curbed leading to unfortunate deaths simply because a revenue stream was affected.
Well, a first class citizen of the country has been affected this time so there will be federal crime for payback.

Even thought I agree that the police were interested in the case because the victim was fulani, LASMA or any other state traffic management authority does not have the right to impound vehicles indiscriminately. They don't have the rights to even enter your car without your permission not to talk of getting into the drivers seat and driving your car to their office.

The issue deserves appropriate responses addressing the traffic violation by the deceased son on one hand as well as the lack of empathy on the path of the LASTMA officers. As someone already pointed out in one comment above, LASTMA officers should be stopped from impounding vehicles and violators ticketed and plate numbers flagged just like it's now being adopted by VIO for road worthiness. Failure to promptly comply should attract penalties of additional fines on top of the original stipulated fine for the misdemeanor. Lagos State should stop treating traffic violation like felonious offence

keep supporting nonsense. Activities of Lastma in Lagos is terrible and unprofessional.

Until #ENDLASTMA takes place in Lagos, this rubbish won’t end

lexy2014:


They were doing there lawful job by asking for 50k bribe

don’t mind him.

What a country! In civilized countries, all LASTMA would have done was issue a ticket. Breaking a traffic light signal will automatically generate a fine on your traffic account. No need for agberoism tactics that is meant for the stone age.

Can't see what the LASTMA officials did wrong.
Their legal department should be able to handle this without problem.
The family of the deceased will have to prove the bribery allegations.

Lastma are to ṣeé to free flow of traffic. but they have divert to arresting seatbelt offender, unpainted buses,and setting traps for drivers.
Ordinary offence that cost 10k for offender
Latsma will charge 50k , because of time factor
They have daily contribution target.

Obidient4life2:
Because the victim na Fulani. The first question that should be asked is if they broke traffic law! Lastma officials didn't shoot him from the report I am reading.

You guys don't have value for human life anymore, it's okay becouse you ar no diferent with your political leaders here in Nigeria.

There are better ways to solve a problem. But here in Nigeria, the avarage citizen does not have sense.
God save us.

emmanuelbrown26:
Urchins Agbado dey carry dey generate revenue. Everywhere is just littered with miscreants all in d name of generating revenue, putting dem on daily target to meet up with d boss demand.
Then, d victim's son, una too no try at all at all, u disobeyed d traffic law, when u are not an emergency staff. Lawlessness caused d death of ur father.

when any of your OWN family members are in an emergency situation or breathe dropping by the seconds , leave them to death and be waiting for emergency staff to come and take them to the hospital

You are so insensitive , wicked and senseless.
