The activities of Kick against indiscipline, (KAI)
officials over the week received a boost since Lagosians refused to make use of
the pedestrian bridge built by the Lagos State Government to avoid imminent
death of people who cross the road and get knocked down by speeding vehicles.
In order to ensure compliance, the KAI officials
have expedite actions on arresting and prosecuting of people who violate the
rule of crossing the bridge. Not only punishments are meted out, offenders are also
delayed and kept behind the bars of KAI special enforcements vehicles to tell
people not to rush and follow the rule of pedestrians.
At the inception of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s
administration, one of the complaints made by people is the need to provide
more pedestrian bridge in Lagos in certain areas like Berger, Alimosho in which
the Governor graciously approved. My question is why do people refuse to pass
through the bridge? The Lagos of today has seriously changed from what we used
to have since BRF Tenure up till the present governor. They are no nonsense
Administrators dragged to politics by faith. The success story for pedestrians
is that the bridges are now safe to pass unlike before.
Where is no law, there is no sin but once their law,
sin becomes an offence. I therefore appeal to lagosians to please make use of
the pedestrian bridges and render KAI officials useless do they can go and find
another work to do. On the other hand, I implore KAI officials to prosecute
harder offenders, fine them so we can have lesser cases of accidents as well
other hazard.
Your Lagos is my Lagos.
