The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has condemned a viral video of two individuals filming a scene on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, causing gridlock.
NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) reports that a video showing the moment two young men who appeared to be filming a scene hopped out of a grey Camry parked in the middle of the road while sitting on the car’s bonnet surfaced on social media during the weekend.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Adebayo Taofiq, LASTMA’s director of public affairs, said the agency had begun an investigation, adding that swift action was being taken.
The statement also reaffirms LASTMA’s commitment to enforcing traffic rules and regulations in Lagos.
“The attention of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has been drawn to a viral video on social media, depicting two individuals in a grey Camry (AAA 62 EL) enacting a scene on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, without official authorization,” the statement reads in part.
“The Agency seeks to assure the public that an investigation has been promptly initiated, and that appropriate action will be taken, utilizing the vehicle’s registration number in strict compliance with the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018.”
