The Lagos State Task Force Chairman, Shola Jejeloye, has threatened to arrest Oshodi Road vendors who indiscriminately advertise their goods on the sidewalks.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the agency’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Abdulraheem Gbadeyan, the agency’s Chairman, Shola Jejeloye, revealed this.
Jejeloye pointed out that despite the government’s appropriate supply of a marketplace, shopping centre, and Nigerian Army shopping arena, the traders and owners of commercial vehicles had already received warnings earlier in the year.

Jejeloye said, “We carried out an enforcement exercise on March 9 this year where some goods were seized from the traders and vehicles were impounded from some commercial bus drivers, but we had compassion on the traders and some of the drivers, who had purchased some of the goods through soft loans with the promise that they would not return to the roadside again.”
” Unfortunately, we can see that they are fully back on the road, but this time, anyone who is caught displaying goods by the roadside will be arrested and prosecuted by the agency,” Jejeloye added.
“Commercial vehicle operators who are known to be unruly and have a total disregard for road traffic rules will henceforth be arrested and have their vehicles impounded if they do not turn over a new leaf.”
