Lagos State Task Force Enforces Crackdown at Berger, Seizes Korope.
Today, @Taskforce112 carried out a thorough operation on Kosoko Street in the Berger area, confiscating dozens of vehicles that had been causing severe traffic disruptions and as untold hardship to commuters. The majority of the seized vehicles were mini commercial buses, commonly known as “korope,” which had illegally occupied an entire lane on both sides of the road. This unauthorized parking and encroachment not only created a nuisance but also led to a substantial buildup of traffic, obstructing the free flow of vehicles and pedestrians along the busy route.
During the operation, one driver of a private vehicle known as “kabu-kabu” who tried to evade arrest from the officials attempted to run them over with his vehicle. His reckless act led to his immediate arrest.
@followlasg has reiterated its commitment to maintaining sanity and ensuring the smooth flow of traffic across the Metropolis. This operation serves as a stern warning to commercial drivers and other road users about the consequences of willfully obstructing traffic especially at petrol stations.
