Hamza was on his way to the flag-off ceremony of continuation of the reconstruction of Lagos-Badagry Expressway when he caught the drivers and ordered that their vehicles should be impounded, while the erring drivers should be made to face the wrath of the law for their actions.
The deputy governor said: “It is important to note that on our way, we saw a lot of vehicles facing one way. In the process, we stopped some of them and their excuse was that `there is no road’.
“Unfortunately, on that same road, we saw a young man that was hit by an ‘Okada’ rider who was riding against the traffic. That young man can be somebody’s brother, son or cousin.
“So, we cannot say because the road is in bad shape, we will now break the law.’’
