accused of taking one-way

Date Paid: 8-2-2013 10:28:55 | City: Oshodi-Isolo
Date Reported: 2013-02-09 04:42:49 | Department: State Run Agencies

Paid N12,000

Office/Company: LAGOS STATE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (LASTMA)
Transaction: Traffic Offence
Bribe Type: Corporate
Detail: Because of ongoing construction on the Ago Palace Way road in Okota, a one-way bypass was created connecting Ali Dada road to Ago road. Those of us living on Ali-Dada had been taking that bypass instead of driving further down to turn into Ago. For several months, we had no problems. All of a sudden, that morning, Police and LASTMAdescended on my car with no warnings. They harassed me. I asked them to show me the sign that says 'no throughfare' but they told me to shut up. My tires were deflated and my car towed to their office. There's almost nothing they didn't threaten me with. They said they would lock me up and charge me to court unless I gave them a whopping 12,000 naira! After several hours wasted and cancelled appointments, I gave in. May I also state that there were several of us living on Ali Dada road that they did this too who had been passing there 2 or 3 times a day. This is very unfair.
