The vehicles were impounded at Okuta road junction in Bariga, Oba Akran road by Kodesoh under the bridge, Ikeja and Ladipo by five star, along Oshodi-Apapa expressway.
Warning motorists in the habit of traffic recklessness, Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele, stated that the agency under his stewardship will not spare violators of environmental and traffic laws of the state any breathing space.
