  Nigerian Police Officer In Kaduna Threatens Reprisal Attack On Southerners In North Over Edo Killings A police officer from Kaduna State, Hadaina Hussaini Dan-Taki, has threatening reprisal attacks on southerners living in northern Nigeria. Dan-Taki's comment came in response to the killing of 16 northerners in Uromi, Edo State. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Dan-Taki, through a Facebook post, swore in the name of God, declaring that northerners in the north must take action against southerners.  He further warned that southerners had forgotten that their families were living in the north, vowing that "within one week, the southerners shall see the result." The post quickly attracted widespread condemnation from social media users, many of whom called out Dan-Taki for inflaming ethnic tensions, especially given his public position as a police officer.  Many expressed concern that his actions could further exacerbate divisions, with some highlighting his police uniform in the co...

LAGOS VIS IMPOUNDS 50 UNROADWORTHY COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN A SAFETY COMPLIANCE DRIVE. (PHOTOS). #PRESS RELEASE

-


 In a concerted effort to ensure road safety and regulatory compliance, the Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) conducted a comprehensive enforcement operation on Wednesday targeting unroadworthy vehicles across the state.


The operation which resulted in the seizure of over 50 rickety commercial vehicles, focused on vehicles that failed to meet the prescribed minimum roadworthiness standards as seen in its brakes, wipers, lights, shocks and tyres, as stipulated in the State’s Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.

During the enforcement exercise which spanned various key locations including Costain, Ikorodu road, Ojuelegba, Yaba, Oyingbo, Ikeja, and Ojodu Berger, the Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIOs) while diligently scrutinising commercial vehicles to ensure compliance with safety regulations also enlightened the drivers on the danger in non-compliance, majority of which was the cause of road accidents.


Debunking the misconceptions about the VIS’s enforcement focus which was said to target more private vehicles, the Director, Vehicle Inspection Services, Engr. Akin-George Fashola explained that roadworthiness compliance is no respecter of particular categories of vehicles. “It is expected to be implemented on all vehicles that ply Lagos roads”, he said.

Despite the professionalism displayed by VIS Officers during the operation, some defiant commercial vehicle drivers resisted being apprehended and in the cause of their unruly behaviour damaged the patrol vans belonging to the VIS Command.


Maintaining that such acts of defiance will not deter the state government from persisting in enforcement efforts until the prevalence of rickety vehicles is significantly reduced, the VIS Director advised all vehicle owners to adopt voluntary compliance with Roadworthiness requirements for the safety of lives and property.

Engr. Fashola further reiterated that the VIS will continue to uphold its commitment to conducting fair and unbiased enforcement drives, urging all vehicle owners and operators to prioritise regular maintenance and adherence to roadworthiness standards to ensure the safety of all road users.
