governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has directed the agency to return all seized vehicles in their custody to their respective owners.
A statement issued by the chairman of the agency, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, refuted the claim that the decision was a follow-up to a memo he sent to the governor seeking for his approval to auction all seized vehicles in order to create space for new ones.
According to him, “Governor Sanwo-Olu is conscious of the provisions contained in the 2018 amended Traffic Law as it relates to the duties of the Taskforce and will never make pronouncements contrary to the provisions of the law”. While noting that transportation and traffic management play prominent roles in the present administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S agenda, the chairman recalled that the governor had on numerous platforms stated unequivocally that “should members of his family or cabinet run foul or violate the traffic laws, they shall equally face the consequences of such acts”.
Egbeyemi, therefore, implored the general public, particularly owners of such impounded vehicles, to ignore and disregard the fake news designed to confuse and mislead them into not complying with ‘Court Order’ on such vehicles in the custody of the agency.
