The Lagos State Government says it has arrested and prosecuted no fewer than 219 persons for crossing expressways in different parts of the state in March.

This was revealed by the spokesperson for Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, LUKMAN AJAYI.

AJAYI said that the persons were arrested at Oshodi, Dopemu, Ikeja, Ikorodu Road, Ketu and Ojota.

He said that the arrest would continue as long as the people would not obey simple rules that will save lives.

The spokesperson wondered why some persons, including parents, would take children to cross a 10-lane-expressway where there were pedestrian bridges.

He therefore called on the residents, particularly parents, to advise their wards against crossing the expressways.

According to AJAYI, the agency would be committed to saving lives by enforcing laws in that regard.
