Lagos State Government has arrested and prosecuted at least 219 persons for crossing expressways in different parts of the state in March.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the spokesperson for Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, Lukman Ajayi, disclosed this on Tuesday.
Ajayi noted that the persons were arrested at Oshodi, Dopemu, Ikeja, Ikorodu Road, Ketu and Ojota.
He said that the arrest would continue as long as the people would not obey simple rules that would save lives.
The spokesperson expressed concerns why some persons, including parents, would take children to cross a 10-lane-expressway where there were pedestrian bridges.
He urged the residents, particularly parents, to advise their wards against crossing the expressways.
He said that the agency is committed to saving lives by enforcing laws in that regard.
