The Lagos State Police Command has suspended the ongoing operation velvet for a period of one month effective from today, to enable motor vehicle and motorcycle owners time to regularise their documents.
This was made known by the command’s Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti in statement made available to hotjist.com.
According to Oti, the operation, aimed at enforcing all relevant traffic laws to restore orderliness on our roads and highways, was put on hold for a month period based on the appeal of the executive governor of the state, His excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the honourable members of the state house of assembly.
However, the Command warned all road users that the grace period should not be interpreted as a period of lawlessness on the city roads.
“It is a time allowed to get the vehicle documents and necessary permits together”, he said.
He added that the Command would continue to enforce laws against driving on BRT lanes, parking at unauthorised places thereby causing gridlock and driving against traffic (one way).
