  12. Those who say Lastma are wicked are heartless pple, nobody like uniform men doing the right thing. He was a very nice man, fun to be with. Forget about Lastma as an organisation. Individuals characters matters most. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Nobody ever pray seeing his own family stone to death inside gulter for that matter. Too bad.

  17. Normally I grieve when people die, but trust me if u have encountered lastma on d least/ inconsequential offense. U will hate them.they are wicked!! Extorting money on d road is what dey do not controlling traffic.i feel no pity for any lastma man for no reason. Even when u don't commit a traffic offense, they will look for a reason to get cash from u.does a mob attack an innocent officer ? What triggers mob action? Lastma guys need a total work reorientation. Dunno who's worse between lastma and NPF.

    1. It's not enough reason to not be sympathetic. This is a human life we are talking about and not LASTMA as a company. He has a family that loves him dearly and wouldn't even know to pass through this period..
      Let us learn to love and show compassion to our fellow humans.

  18. more of them will be killed. you can't give lastma officers targets to generate income for the govt. giving motorists fine ranging 20k-60k. they are not fair, friendly or show empathy. very corrupted officials. iyana oworo bus-stop is a trap. people are angry very angry. I'm just sorry for those officers on the road coz they are the ones who will face it. Linda if u like post or delete.

  19. okada riders have taken over Apapa GRA posing a security risk.We are afraid for our lives as they seem to be Boko haram sleeper,Waiting for instructions to strike.Local government is absent in Apapa the place is filthy and overrun by miscrents from Ajegunle and Ijora.The best thing for us in Apapa is to vote in PDP in the next elections

  21. It's only in Lagos that the government will pronounce a law and it will be glaringly disobeyed.the act of looking the other way by law enforcement agencies have embolden the Okada riders in Lagos.I guess it will now be action time.

  22. A friend of mine was at the scene,it was the hausa okada riders that did killed the man. My friend even recorded it. Just don't know how to upload it here. What actually happened was that, some trucks were packed on the road side and when they saw the LASTMA people they rushed into the truck and zoomed off not knowing that one of their boys was sleeping under the truck relaxing, in short the boy died so the ZONAL head went there see what was happening, on getting there the hausas got angry because the drivers were running away from the LASTMA so they started stabing the man, beat him, pushed him into the gutter, broke his hand and stoned him several times,Giant stones that they even had to carry with two hands. It wasn't cool at all. Even the police that went with the man ran away when the whole thing started. This country is all about all man for himself. You are on your own regardless your job

  27. So many things is wrong with Nigeria! Life is cheap in this country, where was a quick response, a truck fell on a lady's legs a few weeks back, there was also no quick response and she was loosing blood! no number to call like 911 like it's done outside the country, to help save life's. if there was, no excellent logistics on how to reach victims fast in a highly populated state.. What kind of leadership runs in this country! Anybody can just kill anybody! If people are even going to do jungle justice, why not do it to the right person...but still the risk is very very high among stark illiterate or among educated illiterate! Why is Dr no law in place for crimes committed as its done in Asian nation? Nigeria is fucked and finished, but I and my family are covered by the blood of Jesus amen! Everyone pray for yours
