BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—Magistrate Court in Ojodu-Abiodun, Lagos, has sentenced a traffic offender to two months’ imprisonment without the option of fine for driving against the flow of traffic along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.
The conviction followed a special enforcement operation by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) targeting persistent one-way violations along the Kara–Opic axis of the corridor.
a statement signed by the Corps Public Education Officer, Segun Ogungbemide, the conviction, which was handed down by the Ojodu-Abiodun Magistrate District Court, stemmed from a coordinated enforcement operation launched on 10th February, 2026, to address the persistent and dangerous practice of motorists driving against the flow of traffic along the Kara–Opic axis of the expressway.
The illegal act had escalated due to ongoing bridge expansion joint construction works on both the inward and outward sections of the corridor.
The FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed says the corps will continue to maintain zero tolerance for traffic violations that endanger lives. He assured the motoring public that sustained enforcement operations will continue along critical corridors nationwide.
