A LAGOS resident, identified simply as Adedapo, has confronted officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) for driving against traffic.
According to the viral video shared by the man via his Twitter account @Dagbofather, he was climbing a bridge to link to the Third Mainland Bridge when he came across the LASTMA vehicle driving against the traffic.
He blocked the vehicle and told them to turn back but the officials refused and he parked his car infront of them causing a blockade.
“Them dey follow one-way dey come, see my car, see where we dey come from, third mainland, normal road see where dem they come from. I am not leaving this place for them, look at me,” he narrated in the video.
The Lagos resident hurled invectives at the officials and promised not to clear the road until they follow the right way.
