The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, (LASTMA) has impounded more than 200 unregistered and unpainted vehicles in the state.

Giwa added that the enforcement operation has revealed that certain transport companies around; CMS, Obalende, Ajah, and Ojo Cantonment corridors have been operating their fleet of vehicles without proper documentation, stressing that the State Government is taking this matter seriously and will hold such companies accountable for their actions.
