KAI TASKFORCE RAIDS IKEJA MARKET

Posted by on
Lagosians, who still indulge in the act of not using pedestrian bridges, it may soon be a long walk to freedom as enforcement agency, the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) is prowling the streets for offenders to cool their heels in a waiting Black Maria.At Ikeja Along Bus Stop on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway yesterday, the long arm of the law caught up with some people. The KAI officials also got busy picking up hawkers and roadside traders, while confiscating their wares into the Black Maria.

In spite of several complaints from the public over the seemingly high-handedness of the enforcement taskforce, a KAI official told The Guardian that they were there to specifically arrest those risking their lives by crossing the busy highway, while also ensuring that road sellers stayed off the road.
 
When asked what punishment would be meted out to the offenders in the Black Maria, he directed The Guardian to the agency’s head office at Alausa, Ikeja.
