The Lagos State Government has reiterated that crossing major highways in the state by pedestrians is an offence, and any defaulter would be prosecuted.
On his X handle on Sunday, the state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Barrister Tokunbo Wahab said that officials of the state Environmental Safety Corps (popularly known as Kick Against Indiscipline – KAI), alongside other agencies have been instructed to enforce this directive immediately.
He wrote: “Crossing the highway is an offence in Lagos State. Lagos State Government has given a marching order to the #LAGESCOfficial (KAI) Marshall and other law enforcement officials to arrest anyone crossing the highway and then charge them to court immediately”.
The commissioner further urged residents to make use of pedestrian bridges.
He wrote, “Please, use the pedestrian bridges across the state”.
