Agberos
Lagos
State Task Force on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement
Unit) says it has begun a fresh crackdown on touts, popularly called agberos, who collect illegal dues outside motor parks.
Task Force Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, said
on Sunday that since the state Road Traffic Law 2012 prohibits
collection of dues by union members and others outside their parks, the
task force had a duty to enforce it.
He said, “The government will not allow
miscreants to behave lawlessly. There is no room for miscreants and
criminals in Lagos State because we will make life uncomfortable for
them.”
Sulaiman said the task force arrested 46 agberos between Mile 12 and Agric Bus stop on Ikorodu Road, who were collecting illegal dues.
