Officials of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit has impounded a bullion van and arrested its driver in Apapa, Lagos State for driving against traffic.



And the bullion van driver, Seun Odukoya, faces one year jail term without an option of fine as a first offender for flouting the new Lagos law while the bullion van will be forfeited to the state government.

The bullion van was arrested on Creek Road, Apapa while conveying money to a new generation bank in the area.

Officials of the warehouse had to come with another van to transfer the money from the impounded van to the new generation bank.

The driver of the bullion van admitted that he drove against traffic on Creek Road and that he did it because the road was blocked.

And the officials of the warehouse that own the bullion van have been begging to get the van released but to no avail.

This is a good job but if only they will not mess it up tomorrow. My dear brother Ojriwolo you ask about ambulance just to tell you in any where in the world ambulance is not against traffic. in as much is going for an Emagnce go to a place like Dubai London and America, they will give it to you as a warrning that when ever you see the ambulance coming give way to pass. but its going to rescu somebodys life. But we Nigerians we are so stupid because those who the people spose to emolet are the one's breaking the law. I have seen one day in Dubai where police gave a police fine for wrong parking. but come to Nigeria my country they tell you that he is a rted police officel. I mercy for my country.
