The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Hakeem Odumosu, has declared zero tolerance for traffic offenders. 

The CP particularly mentioned those who drive or ride against the traffic, on restricted areas as well those who use the BRT lanes as escape route. 

Odumosu criticised the act as criminal and unacceptable and gave the matching order to Area commanders, Divisional Police Officers, and Heads of Operational and tactical units in Lagos State. 

Speaking on Monday during a routine briefing with the officers, Odumosu charged the officers and men of the command to go after and ostracize cultists or any illegal or unlawful society within the state since their existence and operations are purely illegal and condemnable. 

He vowed to cause every Divisional Police Officer to be accountable and responsible for violation of any traffic laws and uprising cult-related cases in their areas within the length and breadth of the state. 

Odumosu said this in a press statement signed and made available to journalists by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi. 

According to the statement, Odumosu also assured the public of his commitment to get Lagos State rid of criminal acts, social vices and violation of traffic rules.
