this happened to me today. I was driving towards ijora under bridge this afternoon when someone I suspected to be a plain cloth policeman stopped me.

I parked as instructed but got to know that he is council official after he charged me for alleged traffic obstruction. I explained that I cannot obstruct traffic that was even flowing freely.

while this was going on, he suddenly removed my car key and asked someone to drive my car to the office which was later found out to be a room in one of the secondary schools off mobil road in Apapa. I was asked to pay N25,000 but eventually paid N17,000 including unreceipted "gate fee". the receipt is pictured below .

I implore the law enforcement agencies to stop this illegality immediately as these people are taking advantage of the recent fight against traffic offence by the Lagos State government.

hmm

Hard luck.
