Lagos State Government has disclosed that no fewer than 859 traffic offenders were apprehended and prosecuted across Lagos Island and Ikeja over various traffic-related violations.
The Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Central Business Districts, Bola Olumegbon Lawal, revealed this on Tuesday during the 2026 Ministerial Press Briefing commemorating the third anniversary of the administration’s second term in office.
Lawal also disclosed that 24 tricycles were seized and prosecuted for offences ranging from illegal parking and unlawful U-turns to traffic light violations and driving against traffic.
According to her, the Lagos State Central Business Districts have sustained efforts aimed at improving the business environment and enhancing the overall living conditions for residents, commuters and visitors within the state.
She noted, however, that maintaining law and order within the districts has continued to present significant challenges for enforcement officials.
Lawal recalled that personnel of the agency had on several occasions come under attack from suspected hoodlums and individuals allegedly linked to the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW.
She added that despite the challenges, the agency had continued to strengthen its operations through regular training and retraining programmes for officials, alongside safety campaigns and rescue activities across the districts.
The special adviser reiterated the state government’s commitment to enforcing traffic regulations and maintaining order within key commercial areas of Lagos.
