Four men, Tunji Oyedeji, Allison Ozin, Taiwo Olubodun and Awotunde Ahmed, have been arrested in Lagos by officials of the state’s Ministry of Transportation during a sting operation for allegedly harassing drivers in the Amuwo-Odofin area.

Our correspondent reports that many drivers had complained over the activities of hoodlums who swooped on them anytime their vehicles broke down.

Condemning their actions, the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, stated that continued arrest of the miscreants “demonstrates the state government’s resolve to ensure an enabling environment devoid of miscreants’ activities. The ministry will intensify its sting operations across the state with a view to taming these urchins whose actions hinder economic development.”

He added that the suspects had been handed over to the Lagos State Task Force for investigation.
