The Lagos State Transport Management Authority on Tuesday impounded more than 20 motorists in Ikeja over illegal parking by their owners.
Most of the vehicles, impounded on the Medical Road, Ikeja, were towed to the authority’s office in Alausa, Ikeja.
Adeyiolu Ademola, an Assistant Head of Operations of LASTMA,said the vehicles contravened traffic laws.
We have been directed by the state government to clear all illegally parked vehicles,” he said.
Some of the vehicles towed belonged to the workers of the Medical Road branch of the Zenith Bank.
An official of the branch, who pleaded anonymity,said the bank paid N200 daily to the Ikeja Local Government Council for the parking of each employee’s car on the Medical Road.
Michael Ude, a customer of the Zenith Bank branch whose car was also towed, said that he was surprised to see his vehicle being towed by LASTMA personnel as he was coming out of the bank.
