The Lagos State Government says an illegal turning point impeding traffic at Fidelity Bank/Ikota on Lekki-Ajah Expressway has been temporarily blocked by HITECH.
Mrs Bolanle Ogunlola, Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Lagos Ministry of Transportation, made the disclosure in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
Before the blockage, the illegal turning had contributed to the gridlock along the Lekki-Ajah corridor (both sides of the road).
“This has led to miscreants or area boys taking advantage to extort money from motorists freely.
The spot has also been a den for robbers, robbing motorists of their valuables and causing multiple accidents with their notorious activities,” she said.
