Mudashiru Obasa, said, “As we are quick to prosecute LASTMA officials who misbehave, we must be quicker to prosecute those found culpable of attacking LASTMA officials.” The State House of Assembly speaker made it clear that the security of LASTMA personnel is paramount, to enable them perform their duties without fear of being attacked by any unruly motorist. Violent attacks and assaults on traffic controllers and managers did not just start today. Some other LASTMA officers were lucky to have narrowly escaped the violent attacks at Anthony as well too. Justice is expected in the days ahead from the appropriate agencies handling the various cases involving assaults on unarmed traffic personnel. This way, the continued rising attacks on LASTMA officials will be nipped in the bud.
