Seven dead beat vehicles that had been abandoned and already in preparedness for disposal for years by crushing or other means got burnt.

Oduyoye stated that as confirmed by the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, no injury or damage to any LASTMA’s property was recorded.

He assured the public especially those whose vehicles were apprehended for traffic offences in the Oshodi Yard not to entertain any fear, stressing that LASTMA continues to be responsible and responsive to maintaining the free flow of traffic in Lagos State.
