Over 500 police, LASTMA officials for deployment
Articulated vehicle drivers have appealed to Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to help put an end to the extortion and other pains they daily experience in their bid to access the Lagos ports. x
From Lily port to Apapa port and Tincan port, the message was the same. They maintained that the process of gaining entry into the ports was cumbersome with security officers and members of the Federal Task Force extorting between N150,000 to N250,000 from them per truck.
Mostly youths, the drivers shouted their complaints as the governor, who was on a tour of Apapa, walked past them or drove through the axis.
