The Lagos State Taskforce has denied the allegation that it’s operatives are collecting tolls on Oshodi Pedestrian Bridge.
The Agency Director, Public Affairs, Mr.Gbadeyan AbdulRaheem , in a press statement urged members of the public to disregard such allegations.
His Statement reads “the attention of the Lagos State Taskforce has been drawn to a viral video alleging that officials were collecting tolls from pedestrians using the Oshodi pedestrian bridge. This claim is false and misleading.
The Lagos State Taskforce does not charge or authorize the collection of tolls on pedestrian bridges. Officials of the Lagos State Taskforce and the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) are stationed at pedestrian bridges to enforce their usage for public safety and the preservation of human lives, not to extort pedestrians.
Relevant enforcement agencies have been notified to address the situation and ensure the safety of all road users.
We urge the public to disregard the misinformation and report any such illegal activities through the appropriate Government channels”.
