The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) says it found no basis to support the misconduct allegations made by one Mr Chiemelle Offor in Surulere.
Mr Taofiq Adebayo, Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, stated this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
He said Offor had posted on Facebook, accusing unnamed LASTMA officers of misconduct in the Iponri area of Surulere on Wednesday.
Upon receiving the complaint, LASTMA initiated an internal review, including a full debriefing of officers deployed to the Surulere and Iponri areas.
The investigation also involved examining duty rosters, operational logs, and deployment records from the relevant locations and times.
Efforts were made to reach Offor through his Twitter (X) handle to request key details, including vehicle registration and officer descriptions.
According to Adebayo, no operational logs or personnel statements supported the claims made in the social media post.
He added that Offor had yet to provide further evidence or specific details, in spite of multiple requests.
A physical check confirmed there is no “Faithview Hospital” in the Surulere axis, as cited in the Facebook post.
LASTMA reaffirmed its commitment to professionalism, transparency, and ethical operations, highlighting its newly launched toll-free line for public feedback.
“In the absence of verifiable facts, LASTMA finds no basis to validate the allegations,” Adebayo said.
He urged Offor or any witnesses to call the hotline and assist with credible information for fair investigation.
“LASTMA remains committed to citizen-centred traffic management and upholding the integrity of its staff and procedures,” he said.
