Police suspend ‘Operation Restore Sanity On Lagos Roads’

The Lagos State Police Command has suspended the ongoing ‘operation restore sanity on Lagos roads or velvet’, for a period of one month with effect from today 30/10/18 to enable motor vehicle and motorcycle owners time to regularise their documents.

The operation, aimed at enforcing all relevant traffic laws to restore orderliness on our roads and highways, was put on hold for a month period based on the appeal of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and members of the state House of Assembly.

”However, the Command wishes to warn all road users that the grace period should not be interpreted as a period of lawlessness on the city roads. It is a time allowed to get the vehicle documents and necessary permits together.

”The Command will continue to enforce laws against driving on BRT lanes, parking at unauthorised places thereby causing gridlock and driving against traffic (one way), ” the command stated.
