Mr Abdulraheem said the vehicles were seized for various traffic offences ranging from driving on one-way to willful obstruction of traffic flow across various parts of the state.The Taskforce chairperson, Shola Jejeloye, said that he does not determine the fate of seized vehicles. “My role as a police officer is to carry out enforcement exercises, one of which is confiscation of vehicles for traffic offences, and handing them over to the mobile court for judgement. I don’t determine the fate or outcome of any vehicle brought before the magistrate in court,” Mr Jejeloye was quoted as saying.
Mr Jejeloye urged members of the public to desist from committing crime or traffic offences “as no one would be spared if found wanting.” He warned that this exercise would serve as a deterrent to other road users who flout traffic law, adding that they would be made to face the consequences.State Special Offenses Mobile Court, coordinator, Arinola Ogbara-Banjoko, described the exercise as “seamless and well organised.” He said that all the vehicles on display had gone through due process of the court of law before being forfeited to the state government for varying offences.
