CSP Adetayo Akerule, Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, emphasized that the agency will remain vigilant and unyielding against those who flout environmental and traffic regulations until the public starts adhering to the laws meant to ensure safety and order.Abdulraheem noted that enforcement actions were conducted at specific locations, including Okuta Road junction in Bariga, Oba Akran Road under the bridge in Ikeja, and Ladipo by Five Stars along the Oshodi-Apapa expressway.
