The Lagos State Government says it arrested and prosecuted no fewer than 219 persons for crossing expressways in different parts of the state in March.
The spokesperson for Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, Mr Lukman Ajayi, revealed this on Tuesday.
Ajayi said the persons were arrested at Oshodi, Dopemu, Ikeja, Ikorodu Road, Ketu and Ojota.
He said the arrest would continue as long as people would not obey simple rules that will save lives.
The spokesperson wondered why some persons, including parents, would take children to cross a 10-lane-expressway where there are pedestrian bridges.
Ajayi called on the residents, particularly parents, to advise their wards against crossing the expressways on foot.
He said the agency is committed to saving lives by enforcing laws in that regard. (NAN)
