The Lagos State Police Command has suspended the
ongoing operation velvet for a period of one month with effect from October 30
to enable vehicles and motorcycles’ owners time to regularise their documents.
The operation, which aimed at enforcing all
relevant traffic laws to restore orderliness on the roads was put on hold for a
period of one month based on the appeal of the state Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode,
and members of the state House of Assembly.
“However, the police command wishes to warn all
road users that the grace period should not be interpreted as a period of
lawlessness on the roads. It is a time allowed to get the vehicle documents and
necessary permits together,” the state police spokesman, CSP Chike Oti, said.
According to him, the Command further warned that it
would continue to enforce laws against driving on BRT lanes, parking at
unauthorised places thereby causing gridlock, and driving against traffic.
