Fake LASTMA Officer Arrested

A  dismissed official of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has been arrested by the provost unit of the agency for operating illegally and parading himself as an official of LASTMA.
A statement by the agency's spokesperson, Bola Ajao, said the 40-year-old Muhamed Ibrahim, a native of
Abeokuta, Ogun State, who was dismissed on the grounds of misconduct in March, 2013, was arrested on Sunday by the provost unit of the agency at Mile 2.
Aja said, "Following his dismissal and his refusal to collect and sign for the dismissed letter, the management, in accordance with international practice, sent the letter through DHL to his known and registered address at number 17, Egan road, Igando.
However, Ajao said the letter was returned to the agency because the courier could not locate the address.
She said shortly after Ibrahim's dismissal, the agency started receiving several complaints about a LASTMA official, who extort money from innocent motorists at different locations in the state.
She said, "The provost received a tip-off from motorists on a LASTMA official, who operates in mufti and arrests indiscriminately. Surveillance flash was placed on him and he was eventually arrested wearing the crested vest of the agency.
 "Ibrahim, who incited the mob against the provost team before he was overpowered, later collected his dismissal letter.
"The agency has however mandated him to hand over other kits belonging to the agency. He was eventually handed over to the police for further investigation."
The spokesperson said the agency said it had put a lot of measures in place to counter any act of impersonation or sabotage and ensure the interests of the citizenry are protected.
Ajao said, "LASTMA does not operate in mufti and members of the public should be wary of such persons and quickly call the attention of the agency. As LASTMA respects your rights, Lagos motorists must also respect law and the rights of other road user

50 life lessons you can still learn now that your young.....

You’re stronger than you think you are. Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal. There is nothing to hold you back except you. You can press forward long after you can’t. It’s a matter of wanting it bad enough. No matter how much progress you make there will always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is impossible. You are limited only by your own imagination. Let it fly. Perception is reality. Your instincts can be trusted. There is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?” It’s often hard to tell just how close you are to success. The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake. Never let success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart. You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how ...
