The Ogun State police command has barred street trading and hawkers not to ply their trade on the Otedola Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Due to the construction works on the road, hoodlums have taken advantage of the traffic snarl to attack motorists and their passengers.
State police PRO, Abimbola Oyeyemi said in a statement: “Command is hereby using this medium to warn all those hawking goods on the bridge to quit with immediate effect in order to sanitize the environment and deter the criminals from perpetrating crime on that bridge and anywhere around
‘The command will do everything within the ambit of the law to flush out the hoodlums in the area.”
