October 4, 2023 Youths Burn Isolo LCDA Office Over Tragic LASTMA-Driver Clash

In Lagos, angry youths have razed facilities at the Isolo Local Council Development Area office building in the Okota area.

This followed the death of two persons, including a pregnant woman, two children and a tricycle driver, after a scuffle involving officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, a policeman and a driver in the Ago Palace area of the state.

Eyewitnesses alleged that one of the LASTMA officials at Okota Roundabout was trying to take over a vehicle's steering from the driver while in motion.

It was alleged that the driver had violated traffic rules, and while they were chasing after him, the vehicle lost control and rammed into a tricycle on Bayo Oyewale Street.

The incident sparked a protest as an angry mob descended on the LASTMA official.

LASTMA spokesperson Adebayo Taofiq said the tricycle operator died instantly; the pregnant woman later died at the hospital while two injured school children are in the Intensive Care Unit receiving medical attention.
