Governor
Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State on Friday arrested an employee of the
Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency, Israel Onyemaechi, for
driving against traffic.
It was learnt
that Fashola arrested Onyemaechi for committing the offence on Awolowo
Road, Ikorodu, while he was inspecting projects in the Ikorodu and Epe
as learnt
that the governor’s convoy blocked the suspect’s vehicle and he was
brought down from the blue bus which was branded LASAA.
The
driver reportedly pleaded with the governor but Fashola was said to
have been angered by the fact that he expected employees of the state to
lead by example.
Onyemaechi was said to have been apprehended by the governor’s security detail while the vehicle was impounded.

The governor has also been known to arrest several commercial motorcycle riders plying restricted routes.
Meanwhile,

at 30, Oriswani Street Ikotun, and arrested one Moshood Afolabi of no
fixed address. The suspect, with two others at large, were said to have
