IKEJA, Lagos – Officials of the Lagos State Parking Authority, LASPA are on rampage, invading private parks in their quest to meet targets and shore up revenue for the Lagos State Government.
In one of their raids, officials of the agency loaded in their motorcade under escort of the Lagos State Government Monitoring Team, the official outfit monitoring enforcement activities in the state roved around Lagos and not able to contravene transporters under the control of MC Oluomo who park in the middle of the road to pick and drop passengers all over the place made a detour into a weak target and decided to invade a private park to contravene a vehicle.
In the broad daylight, the officials numbering over ten men stormed Health Plus on Allen Avenue and contravened Toyota Rave 4 parked in front of the pharmacy about 10 metres away from the popular Allen-Opebi Road.
The owner of the vehicle raised the alarm, wondering about the offence she committed by parking in a private park, very far away from the road without causing any obstruction.
The alarm was so pervasive that the LASPA officials who have video recorded what they felt was legal contravention made a detour and unclamped the vehicle and zoomed off in shame amid boos and jeers.
