The Lagos State Task Force has responded to a viral video alleging that its officials were collecting tolls from pedestrians using the Oshodi pedestrian bridge describing such claims as “false and misleading”.
In a statement by the Director, Public Affairs, Lagos State Task Force, Mr Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, it was declared that the taskforce does not charge or authorise the collection of tolls on pedestrian bridges.
The statement read: “Officials of the Lagos State Taskforce and the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) are stationed at pedestrian bridges to enforce their usage for public safety and the preservation of human lives, not to extort pedestrians.
