The Management of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) acknowledges a social media post (Facebook) by Mr. Chiemelle Kyriam Offor alleging misconduct by unidentified LASTMA officers in the Iponri area of Surulere on Wednesday, 18th June 2025.
Upon formal notification of these allegations, LASTMA immediately initiated a comprehensive internal review. This included:
1. Detailed debriefing of all officers assigned to the Surulere/Iponri corridor.
2. Scrutiny of duty rosters, operational logs, and deployment records.
3. Efforts to contact Mr. Offor via his Twitter (X) handle to request essential details (vehicle registration, officer descriptions, or evidence) to facilitate investigation.
Key findings of the review:
- No operational records or personnel accounts corroborate the described incident.
- Mr. Offor has not yet provided substantiating details or evidence despite our request.
- Physical verification confirmed no "Faithview Hospital" exists within the Surulere axis, as referenced in the post.
LASTMA reaffirms its commitment to:
- Professionalism and ethical conduct in all operations.
- Transparent public engagement, demonstrated by our recently launched toll-free hotline (080000527862) for real-time feedback and complaints.
- Investigating *all* credible reports with due diligence.
Conclusion:
In the absence of verifiable evidence or actionable details, LASTMA finds no basis to substantiate the allegations. We encourage Mr. Offor or any witness with pertinent information to contact our hotline to ensure a thorough and fair resolution.
LASTMA remains dedicated to lawful, citizen-focused traffic management and will always uphold the integrity of its officers and processes.
