No fewer than 127 persons have been arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) on Monday for not using pedestrian bridges in the state.
It was gathered that many state residents have shunned the government’s directive on using pedestrian bridges instead of crossing the highway in some areas.
Some pedestrians who preferred to cross the highway, especially at night attributed their actions to insecurity on the bridges.
On Monday, Tokunbo Wahab, Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources on his X handle described the action of pedestrians as an offence, adding that any defaulter caught would be prosecuted.
Wahab said 26 suspects, terrorizing people using the pedestrian bridge, were arrested at Oshodi, and, two miscreants, 31 street traders and 68 individuals were arrested during the operation for not using the pedestrian bridges.
“During a sting operation conducted by the operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) at about 1500hrs today, a total of 3 ladies and 23 boys terrorizing people using the pedestrian bridge at Oshodi were arrested.
“Also, 2 miscreants, 31 street traders, and 68 individuals were arrested during the morning operation across the state for not using the pedestrian bridges,” he said.
