The Lagos State Government has criticized the attack on the Vehicle Inspection Services (VIS) officials by a notorious gang along Airport Road in Oshodi, making warnings that decisive action will be taken against perpetrators of such despicable acts.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, who disclosed this yesterday, stated that the VIS officials were on lawful duty along Airport Road in Oshodi and while trying to arrest a truck driver who went against the traffic law on Tuesday, a mob gang attacked them at around 10:30 am.
Oladeinde has criticized attacks saying that it has become the usual on the enforcement teams of the state government by the citizens they are serving, warning that those caught in the act will face the full consequences of the law.
The Director, Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Services, Akin-George Fashola, has appealed to members of the public to channel any grievance against government officials to the appropriate authorities for quick actions instead of taking the law into their hands.
