TOLL COLLECTORS ARRESTED BY A.I.G MBU'S AIDES IN LEKKI YESTERDAY,SENDS A PLEA TO I.G OF POLICE FOR THEIR RELEASE.

                 According to sources,yesterday thursday,Joseph Mbu aides,arrested toll operators in Lekki,and now the company in charge of the Lekki Concession Company {LCC},has appealed to the Inspector General of Police Suleiman Abba to tell Joseph Mbu to release toll operators arrested by his aides on thursday yesterday thursday.In a statement by the LCC,it was discovered that the toll operators were forcefully ad uneccessarily seizedd from their duty post in Lagos state.''At about 6:09pm,on thursday 29 January 2015,the newlydeployed AIG zone 2,covering Lagos and Ogun states,AIG Joseph Mbu,passed through lane 8 at Toll Plaza 1 on the Eti Osa Lekki-Epe Expressway,a toll road under concession to a private concern,Lekki Concession Company,with 6 police vehicles and an armoured van in his convoy.Though it is customary to exempt law enforcement agents and other agencies on official duty from paying toll,each vehicle that passes through the Plaza still needs to be processed as exempt vehicle to ensure adequate reconcilliation of daily transactions.Consequently,while the toll collector was trying to process the vehicles,the police officers in the AIG's convoy asked him to open the boom for all the vehicles to pass through.Unfortunately,all explanations by the toll collector on the need to follow LCC's operational guidelines and to process the vehicles individualy fell on deaf ears.The toll collectors and 3 policemen are currently detained at Maroko police station in Lagos.The CCTV footage clearly shows that there was no delay or confrontation by the LCC staff at the plaza which could have degenerated into such act of intimidation,harassment and detention''.
