The Lagos State government has vowed to prosecute those crossing major highways in the State, instead of using pedestrian bridges.
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this via his X handle on Sunday.
He said a marching order has been given to environmental law officials in the State to enforce the law against crossing the major highways on foot.
“Crossing the highway is an offence in Lagos State. Lagos State Government has given a marching order to the #LAGESCOfficial (KAI) Marshall and other law enforcement officials to arrest anyone crossing the highway, and then charge them to court immediately.
“Please, use the pedestrian bridges across the State.”
