The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) says an investigation has begun into two individuals filming on Victoria Island.
A video, which has been making the rounds on social media, shows one of the young men exiting a grey Camry parked in the middle of the road, sitting on the car’s bonnet, while the other individual walks in front of the car and strikes a pose
The two individuals appeared to be filming a scene on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, causing gridlock.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Adebayo Taofiq, LASTMA’s director of public affairs, said the young men did not get permission from the agency to shoot content on the road.
Taofiq assured the public that swift action was being taken. The statement reaffirms LASTMA’s commitment to enforcing traffic rules and regulations in Lagos.
“The attention of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has been drawn to a viral video on social media, depicting two individuals in a grey Camry (AAA 62 EL) enacting a scene on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, without official authorization,” the statement reads in part.
“The Agency seeks to assure the public that an investigation has been promptly initiated, and that appropriate action will be taken, utilizing the vehicle’s registration number in strict compliance with the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018.”
