The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), has debunked insinuations over the fake list of new traffic offences and fines.
LASTMA assistant director, public affairs, Filade Olumide in a press release on Sunday, quoted the General Manager, Olajide Oduyoye as saying that the list of new offences should be ignored.
He said that the primary duties of the agency, which includes traffic law enforcement, traffic control and management are backed by law which was reviewed by the Lagos State House of Assembly in 2018 and this year.
He, therefore, enjoined law abiding road users to ignore the fake list, that any new information on the traffic laws and fines will be published via the agency’s media channels or other authorized avenues by the State Government.
He also urged those publishing the fake list to desist from giving credence to it and take it down.
Oduyoye advised all road users to at all times, adhere strictly to the traffic laws of Lagos State in order to avoid paying the consequences of flouting them.
