Arrest Me If My Convoy Breaks Traffic Rules – Governor Amosun Tells New TRACE Boss

Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun says he expects the new state Traffic Control boss, Fatai Olaseni Ogunyemi, to apply the full weight of the law so as to enforce discipline.


Amosun stated this Monday while decorating the new Commander and Chief Executive Officer of Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) during the State Executive Council meeting.


Amosun said: “Our TRACE should ensure that it is one law for everybody regardless of status. Even if the Governor takes one way, you should arrest him.

“This is a wake-up call to everybody. Anyone who breaks traffic law will be prosecuted.”


The governor decried the indiscriminate parking of trucks on the median along the Lagos-Sagamu expressway, as well as Sagamu Interchange.


“I want the agency to endeavour to put an end to illicit parking of trucks on the median at the Sagamu Interchange and Sagamu–Benin expressway.


“These drivers should be brought to book without leaving any stone unturned”, he stated.


He further warned that any one or persons that assault traffic officers would be dealt with.


The new TRACE Commander told newsmen that “whoever flouts traffic laws, would be taken to psychiatric hospital before prosecution.”

Ogunyemi disclosed that the agency would engage in increased public enlightenment
