Lagos Warns Against Attacking Parking Officials, Pledges Strict Action by Lanrelagboi(op): 7:15am On Aug 09, 2025

LASPA VOWS TO PROSECUTE OBSTRUCTION OF ITS OPERATION/ ATTACKS ON ITS OFFICIALS

The Lagos State Parking Authority has said that it will not hesitate to invoke the full wrath of the law on anyone or group of individuals trying to obstruct its operations in the state.

The announcement comes in the wake of incidents of unwarranted assaults on LASPA officials during routine parking compliance checks.

In a statement made available on Friday, LASPA General Manager Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu condemned the attacks on officials by some staff and security personnel of Better Mart on Badore Road, off Addo Road, Ajah, and Ashley Mall in Epe.

Adelabu described the attacks as “illegal and unacceptable,” stressing that “the Parking Authority will stop at nothing to ensure that the individuals and organisations responsible for the attacks on its officers are brought to book.”

She emphasised that it is a great offence to obstruct the activities of government officials on duty, stressing that it is an even greater offense to attack and beat up state officials carrying out their statutory assignments.

According to her, the incident represents a serious breach of protocol and an unlawful obstruction of government officials in the execution of their duties.

In her words, “LASPA strongly condemns any form of violence or intimidation directed at its personnel and reaffirms its commitment to lawful enforcement and public safety”.

She further noted that the State Parking Authority will not hesitate to prosecute any one or group of people responsible for the attacks on its officials during their statutory assignments.

”LASPA is resolute in the actualisation of its mandate to ensure strict compliance with the State Traffic Regulations and would not be intimidated by anyone”, she stated.

More people need to be employed in the police force. Such law enforcement duties should fall under police jurisdiction.

The video clearly shows them trying to gain access INTO the supermarket.

They went there to enforce parking regulations. What is their business INSIDE the store?

Anyway, you can’t beat the government. After God na government. A pity that store will probably be shut down for a long time.

their officials are mainly agberos in uniform. Hungry looking APC urchins. They should go and beg money from their boss. Not to come to harass citizens for illegal money.

How can one differentiate between parking officials and agberos?
How can one even know that where he intends to park is government controlled or agbero controlled?

It is not a secret that tags and receipts fly around everywhere. How do we know if they are printed by government or forged by touts, who pose as government officials.

They all encourage you to park and some of them forcefully extort you. That is the park officials and touts. We also have the issue of LASTMA officials who - conniving with police personnel - overreach themselves. They also extort citizens. Some years ago, I stopped at Alaba Rago, opposite LASU to purchase rice. It was the 24th of December. Other cars and buses parked there too. Out of nowhere, LASTMA and police personnel surrounded my car and claimed that I should not park there. I then wanted to move, but they refused and said that they were arresting me for wrong parking. I did not argue. They said that they were taking me to their office at Ketu, before Agbara. One policeman and one LASTMA man jumped into my SUV and I did not complain. Then the policeman suggested that we could settle. I asked him the terms and he asked for 30K. I asked him how much the fine was at the office and the LASTMA man quickly said 50k. I offered 2k and they both asked if I was calling them children. I said YES and they got angry and we moved on. Just before driving into the office, they asked if I would make it 20k and I said since I was already close to their office, I could only offer 1K. That got them mad. We stopped and they asked the security man to open the gate. I drove in and and said bye bye to them. I then told them to make find their way to their team by public transport. It pained them. Long and short, I reported to the boss in the office and he ordered them to return to face him. I found out that the fine was 11,500 and paid. I paid additional 1K for the gateman to open the gate and let me drive out.

Government should help deal with the issue of touts among the real officials. The same officials move along with touts, who they settle daily. That’s what enables touts know how the real officials operate and sabotage government efforts.

Parking authority enforcement is a good initiative but was there proper sensitization of the populace as regards their coming to being?

I believe 6 months sensitization of the populace should be done in both English and Yoruba so people will know a new organization has been setup (if at all it’s new), else people will take them for street agberos who want to milk people when parking in streets

Let them criminalize street parking in Lagos.

How can someone build a house without a car park?
There are 2 block of flats on the second street after mine, it's at the 1st floor now and it's 2 buildings opposite each other and there's no place for would be tenants to park their cars. A building of multiple room self cons...
Landlords want to maximize the profit on the lands at the expense of ensuring the safety of the tenant's assets.

When they're ready, they know what to do. LGs should be responsible for it and not necessarily an agency.

Build the structure. Continue to enlighten the people.
One thing I found, the mentality of the APC is that they feel the money with which they do things was brought out of their pockets...hence the way they act.
Shame.

Parking is revenue to local municipal .what you people call local government . not that of state.
Cleaning the street it is the responsibility of the local municipal

Their business was outside and not inside the supermarket. To think the car park was clear of vehicles at that time and there was no street parking. I hope the supermarket gets a good lawyer to argue their case. Good thing they have a video recording of the incident.

Lagos state officials were displaying what Lagos state officials has come to be known for later and were rightly restrained from going about their business of illegality. What is their business with trying to gain forceful entry to a private business when their duty is strictly ensuring proper parking of vehicles outside the business premises?. Well, we know the people that are noted for criminality and agberoism
