The Unit Commander, Mr Gbenga Okusi, gave the warning while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Itori, Ogun State.
Okusi emphasised the need to caution motorists driving against traffic at Ewekoro area on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway because they were always adamant and harassing its personnel when cautioned against such act.
The unit commander noted that some of the road crashes in the area, especially the one that claimed two lives and injured four persons on October 1, were caused by driving against traffic.
“We are appealing to motorists to desist from driving against one-way at Ewekoro axis to save lives and property.
“In addition, we will continue to do our best by collaborating with the Nigeria Police Force to enforce and apprehend those driving against traffic on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.”
