Last Friday, the Federal High Court in Lagos ruled that LASTMA lacks the power to impose fines on drivers who allegedly committed a traffic offence and tow their vehicles.

A Lagos road user has narrated his experience in the hands of the government’s BRT Taskforce, which enforces the state’s traffic law.

Well, on a certain Wednesday a few weeks later, at around 11.00 a.m., I fell victim to this same BRT task force entrapment tactic at Mile 12/Owode in Ikorodu. From the top of the flyover, I saw that the only lane reserved for non-BRT traffic was impeded by some policemen and other officials who surrounded a vehicle.

The gun brandishing mobile policeman asked me if I knew why he stopped me. I responded in the negative . Then he said I was driving on a BRT lane. No way, I said. I drove along with other traffic unto that lane to bypass the obstruction caused by them on the lane we were hitherto on.
