The Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency has apprehended officials of the Lekki Estates Residents Association for allegedly vandalising government-approved outdoor advertisements in the Lekki Phase One area of Lagos State.
PUNCH Metro learnt that on Friday night, officials defaced street lamp pole advertisements with red paint and removed A-frame advertisements along the Admiralty Way.
In a video seen by our correspondent on Wednesday, the officials were seen carrying out the operation with a branded patrol van.
Speaking to our correspondent, an official of the LASAA Corporate Communications and Strategy Department who identified himself simply as Adetokunbo said the officials were caught after an eyewitness report.
“After an eyewitness reported, we moved there and found some of them damaging the structures and impounding them. The issue is that they did not have any right to do that. That is why we are taking the matter up,” he added. (Punch)
