44 arrested as Lagos Taskforce cracks down on street traders at Mile 2

In a bid to maintain order and ensure free movement along major highways, the Lagos State Taskforce has arrested 44 street traders and vendors for illegally occupying the roadside at Mile 2 Oke Bridge.

The enforcement operation, led by Chairman CSP Adetayo Akerele, was carried out to address persistent complaints from motorists and commuters regarding obstruction, traffic congestion, and environmental hazards caused by these activities.

The suspects will be prosecuted for violating state environmental and traffic laws.

“We are very much aware that some criminal elements amongst them hide under the guise of street trading to perpetrate their evil activities. All that has come to an end as of today because we are going all out to thwart their activities across the State,” Akerele warned.

This operation is part of the task force’s ongoing efforts to restore order in public spaces and ensure public safety.
