Following what sources describe as continuous breach of traffic rules by uniformed men in Lagos, the state government has warned the military, police and all other security agencies against flouting traffic rules and regulations.
The state vowed to henceforth report to the right formation any erring officer found contravening traffic laws.
City & Crime reports that incidents of military, police, customs officers and other security operatives flouting traffic laws have become rampant, especially during gridlocks.
It is even worse on Airport Road when convoys of VIPs flout traffic rules by driving on wrong lanes.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladehinde, in a statement, objected to the rate at which military personnel, police officers and other uniform men contravened traffic laws with impunity.
While urging all security agencies to show exemplary conduct by leading the way in obeying the traffic laws of the state, the statement added that any form of physical assault of the state’s traffic law enforcement officers by the erring security personnel would also no longer be tolerated.
