Security agents enforcing the curfew imposed by the government as a result of the coronavirus pandemic around the Kara end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway are exposing motorists and commuters plying th
e area to untold hardship,The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 had recently directed that the nationwide curfew be enforced from 10pm to 4am instead of the previous 8pm to 6am.
A hawker, who identified herself simply as Yemi, said the barricades were responsible for the gridlock, adding that vehicles coming into Lagos had to slow down because the road had become narrow. “The barricades left on the road narrow the space left for vehicles to manoeuvre and this usually leads to gridlock that extends to Berger from Lagos and to Magboro from the Ogun State end of the road. I usually sell most of my goods in the gridloclk.”
“If the security agents impound your vehicle for violating any of the directives, they will waste your time and if you are in haste to go somewhere, you will be forced to pay a bribe before they will release you,” Yemi said.
