The Lagos State Government has directed the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority to ensure that 18 motorists arrested for driving against the traffic flow undergo a mandatory psychiatric evaluation.
The spokesperson for the agency, Taofeek Adebayo, made this known in a statement on Sunday. According to him, the directive is part of a multi-faceted approach to restore road discipline, ensure public safety, and maintain order on Lagos roads.
He added that the state government viewed the measure as a preventive and restorative step, rather than a punitive one, aimed at rehabilitating errant drivers and deterring potential violators. (Punch)
