Photos: Gov. Ambode's convoy arrests Cars/Buses driving One-way along Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.




It seems Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has finally woken up to his duties especially concerning the terrible traffic that has invaded Lagos lately...and the wailings that has followed from road users.

The Lagos State Government Monitoring Team tweeted few minutes ago about how the Governor's convoy arrested private car owners and commercial buses driving on the One-Way along Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.

Hope this serves as deterrent to others and keeps the roads sane for other road users.
