… Appeals to Motorists to Obey Traffic Rules, Directs Increased Police Presence 

In continuation of his routine security and safety tour across Ogun State, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo PhD, paid an unscheduled visit to Ewekoro Local Government, where he was confronted with a severe traffic gridlock along the Lafarge dual carriageway currently under construction.

Upon arrival, the CP observed that the congestion was caused by impatient road users who had driven against traffic, leading to a chaotic face-off that left many motorists stranded without a clear passage.

 

Additionally, articulated vehicles had obstructed the movement of smaller cars, further worsening the situation and contributing to general road lawlessness.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, CP Ogunlowo took immediate steps to restore order by personally coordinating traffic movement and appealing to motorists to exercise patience and adhere to proper lane discipline. He emphasized that compliance with traffic regulations would ensure smoother vehicular movement and reduce travel time for all road users.

To prevent a reoccurrence of such disruptions, the Commissioner directed the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ewekoro to deploy additional traffic personnel to the affected areas, ensuring sustained enforcement of traffic laws and facilitating a free flow of movement along the route.

The Ogun State Police Command urges all motorists to cooperate with law enforcement officers, obey traffic regulations, and prioritize road safety to avoid unnecessary delays and inconveniences.
