LASG WARNS ON FAKE ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL



… Urges Residents to be Vigilant

The Commissioner reassured the public that concerted efforts are underway to rid the roads of these impostors, urging everyone to be cautious, avoid falling victim to deceitful individuals, and promptly report any suspicious encounters to the Ministry of Transportation.

Recall that the Lagos State Task Force and the Transport Operations Compliance Unit of the Ministry of Transportation recently apprehended some fraudulent enforcement personnel who were caught and prosecuted for their illegal actions.
